Hi, we are Wrapped in God's Warmth
About Us
Wrapped in God's Warmth is a non-profit organization that was established in the winter of 2018. The founder, Lily Sumner, was 12 years old at the time and was moved by what she witnessed everyday to make change. Everyday on her way home she would see someone off the side of the exit. Immediately action was taken, and the following week Lily took a tote to St. Rita Elementary School and started to collect goods from peers. She then crafted the idea of kits, which are comprised of one of each item. These kits were then handed out to different donation services, churches, or to those struggling.
Today
Over six years Wrapped in God's Warmth has continued to grow and expand through several schools. Wrapped in God's Warmth is a non-profit organization that host collections per season. The collection drives differ with the goods asked for by season. The goods collected can be used, however we prefer that they are washed and cleaned before hand. We prioritize what needs suit our KY community by shifting what goods are collected. For example, when clean water became an issue for those in poverty, we started to collect water bottles and bottled water. As we continue to grow and expand so do our opportunities for helping those in need. We hope to be able to start collections for every season in the year, to help those in poverty get back on their feet, especially in the hot summers, and cold winters.
A huge priority with our kits is the prayer we include with the kit. We usually do the prayer of hope. However, these past few years we have been getting hand written prayers from students at partnering schools, to provide a community wide movement to encourage those in poverty.
