Hoodies for the Homeless

The stigma behind homelessness implies that it is paired with addiction, when in fact homelessness is most often caused by lack of affordable housing, poor mental health and poverty. It is not well known that 16501 which includes the downtown Erie area is one of the poorest zip codes in the nation, ranking #1 in 2020 by zipcodes.org. Hoodies provide some extra warmth and eliminate the need for separate hats, scarves and neck protection.
