Camille Warms Hearts is a community-giving project that began in December 2007. This ongoing initiative was inspired by five-year-old Camille's wish for a world where everyone is warm, safe, and well-fed. For Christmas, Camille hoped that people experiencing homelessness would stay warm during the winter. On December 24, 2022, Camille Warms Hearts celebrated 15 years of making a difference!
For over a decade, volunteers with Camille Warms Hearts have distributed coats, warm clothing, blankets, tarps, new sleeping bags, and other essentials, including socks, gloves, hats, toiletries, and food. Each Christmas Eve, we come together to share love and support with community members experiencing homelessness.
Whether you support us through monetary donations, warm clothing items, volunteering, or spreading our mission by word of mouth, we thank you. We couldn’t accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you. If you’re interested in getting involved, please send an email through our Contact Us page. Thank you!
