Over the course of the last couple of weeks we’d been getting ready for today. I went through my closet and bagged up every jacket and coat I wasn’t using, that likely was taking up space. On a previous day, I bagged up old jeans and shirts. I even bagged up 20 baseball caps. It was the best kind of purge.
With everything in bags we packed the car to the hilt. Both the trunk and the back seats were jacked. I was a little concerned about the visibility of the rearview mirror but we were only going downtown (a few miles).
Temperatures in San Francisco have been consistently cold this first 12 days of December. Folks on the street are cold. ‘Tis the season. It’s that time to give back.
We go to St. Anthony’s Foundation in the Tenderloin. They give the clothes free of charge to those that need it. It’s a good Franciscan outfit, they’ve been at it since 1950. They are not the only folks that do great work in the community, naturally there is Out of the Closet and Community Thrift in the Mission, to name a few. We like Anthony because they get it to the people free.
