As a born Winnipegger, I’ve been thru several harsh winters and have had my share of cold “tooties”. Actually, you can just spent one winter here and understand winter ain’t nothing to sneeze at! 😉 So image facing the cold WITHOUT warm footwear? For some reason there seems to be a gap with charities and the need to help those less fortunate get a pair. I had a chance to talk with Robyn Brown, who along with her family started “Warm Boots, Warm Hearts” in 2019 after she noticed that winter boots were a much-needed item at the family resource centre where she worked.
“We just found that for whatever reason, winter footwear seemed to be one of the gaps that we could not fill, there was just such a need,” said Brown. So, she took matters into her own hands and started a charity!
Alix talks w/ Robyn;
So far, the Brown’s have collected and donated 600 pairs of boots! Amazing.
