We must live in a different time at Khadarlis! Our passion is the same, whether helping our friends or total strangers. Especially when some our neighbors are suffering this winter.
Introducing ourselves to Bannister House
Our Executive Director, Aisha Khadar, took a quick visit to Bannister House a few weeks ago. Bannister House does great work providing everything from nursing to social services.All she wanted to do was introduce herself to the staff and let them know Khadarlis was here to help the local community.
But what she saw shocked her.
So many of the Bannister House's residents needed help! People were missing winter clothes. Worse, many didn't have coats to last them the winter.
She knew Khadarlis had to do something!
Helping those in Need
Without asking a thing in return Aisha wanted to get a huge donation drive ready.
While most of Khadarlis was still getting organized from our donations and moving, volunteers made sure to spend time to get as many winter clothes as ready as possible. Before we knew it, there were over 20 trash bags of clothes ready to go.
What Khadarlis Donated
Those 20 bags held over 170 coats, sweatshirts and sweatpants for the residents of Bannister House. All Khadarlis asked for in return was for the people of Banister House to stay warm this winter.
You don't have to run your own non-profit to make a difference. Take a chance this year, meet new people in your community and help those people in need! It's worth it!
Khadarlis is happy to have to help our new friends!
