With the onset of the cold season, the winter relief effort is kicking off again this year. In many cities, emergency shelters are opening, cold-weather buses are on the road, and organizations are providing homeless people with basic necessities. For all of this to work, they rely on the support of dedicated people like you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, we’ll show you how you can help ensure that homeless people get through the cold winter months safely by dedicating a little time to volunteering or making a donation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here’s what the Cold Weather Assistance Program offers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"Cold<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Between October and March, numerous organizations in Germany work to ensure that homeless people have access to warmth, shelter, and basic necessities during the cold months. Emergency shelters provide places to sleep, while cold-weather and warmth buses travel the streets to offer assistance in the form of food, hot drinks, or sleeping bags. Many initiatives have also established regular routes or meeting points that serve as important points of contact for those in need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Volunteer in the Cold Aid effort (via vostel.de)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    During the winter months, many organizations seeking to provide relief from the cold are looking for volunteers to help with reception duties, food distribution, or at clothing banks. Outreach programs on the streets and services such as shower buses and caf\u00e9s also rely on helping hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you’d like to volunteer right here in your community, you’ll find a small selection of projects supporting the homeless on vostel.de<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Use Donation Fences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Another simple way to help people during the cold season is through so-called \u201cGabenz\u00e4une\u201d: There, you can leave weather-resistant food, clothing, or blankets that homeless people can take on their own. You can find a list of existing locations at Gabenzaun.de<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If your city doesn’t have a donation fence yet, here<\/a> are instructions on how to set one up yourself and register it online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    Donate money to the homeless shelter through betterplace.org<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In addition to traditional cold-weather assistance, there are many initiatives that provide long-term support to homeless people\u2014for example, through medical care, women\u2019s programs, or counseling services. On the donation platform betterplace.org<\/a>, you\u2019ll find a wide variety of such projects that you can support directly with a monetary donation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In emergencies: Here you’ll find cold-weather assistance hotlines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you come across someone who urgently needs help during the cold season, you can contact cold-weather assistance hotlines or cold-weather assistance buses. In our article on this topic, you\u2019ll find not only cold-weather assistance hotlines in many German cities but also a brief guide on what to look out for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
