Thanksgiving is a time for reflection and gratitude—a time when families and communities come together. Here at the Tower of Niceness, we believe it’s also the perfect time to spread kindness to our neighbors who need it most. This year marked our 10th anniversary of the Help the Homeless project, and we couldn’t be more humbled by the outpouring of support that helped make this our biggest effort yet.
A Record-Breaking Year of Giving
Bright and early on Thanksgiving morning, our Tower Team gathered to deliver warmth and necessities to hundreds of people in need and two local shelters. Thanks to your generous donations and the support of our partners, we distributed:
500+ hygiene kits
200+ pairs of shoes, boots & socks
200+ pairs of sweatpants & sweatshirts
100+ winter jackets
100+ blankets
50+ backpacks, beanies & gloves
A warm breakfast of bagels and coffee
Plus tents, tarps, medicine, underwear, and more
In total, over $15,000 worth of new clothing and supplies were handed out. From thick winter socks to warm, freshly brewed coffee, each item represented the collective kindness of our supporters—people like you who believe in uplifting those who are often overlooked.
The Power of Community
It’s not just about the items we gave away; it’s about the sense of community and belonging we provided. From heartfelt conversations over cups of coffee to the simple act of handing someone a brand-new jacket, this event reminded us that a little niceness goes a long way. The smiles, handshakes, and words of gratitude we witnessed showed that hope can thrive even in challenging circumstances.
Our Partners Make It Possible
A key factor in the success of this year’s outreach was the incredible partnership we share with businesses, schools, and local media. We extend our deepest gratitude to:
Each partner played a unique role—some provided financial support, others gathered donations, and many sent volunteers to help package supplies or serve breakfast. Together, we formed a strong network of hope that reached more people than ever before.
The Tower Team
Behind every successful community project is a team of passionate individuals who give their time, energy, and hearts. Our Tower Team volunteers showed up year after year with smiles, trucks, tables, and a can-do spirit that has become the hallmark of the Tower of Niceness. Without their dedication, the Help the Homeless project simply wouldn’t be what it is today.
Your Role in Spreading Niceness
Whether you donated, volunteered on-site, shared our story on social media, or simply mentioned the project to a friend, you played a part in making sure hundreds of people slept warmer, walked more comfortably, and felt seen this Thanksgiving. Every little bit of kindness helps us grow and reach even more people in need.
If you’re looking to stay involved, consider volunteering at an upcoming Tower of Niceness event, organizing a local donation drive, or simply carrying forward the spirit of giving in your own community. When we all work together, niceness becomes a powerful force for change.
Thank You for Supporting a Decade of Niceness
As we celebrate a decade of the Help the Homeless project, we look forward to the future with renewed hope and excitement. There’s still much work to be done, and with your continued support, the Tower of Niceness will keep finding new ways to uplift our neighbors in need. We’ll continue expanding our reach—one warm blanket, one kind word, and one grateful heart at a time.
From the entire Tower of Niceness family, thank you for your generosity and commitment. Together, we’re proving that compassion, kindness, and community are the pillars of a brighter tomorrow. Because of you, more people feel valued, supported, and hopeful this holiday season and beyond.
Thank you for helping the homeless—and for being a part of our journey in spreading niceness throughout our community.
Happy Holidays and warm wishes from all of us at the Tower of Niceness!
