Winter delivery to ahope & paaths

On Friday January 12, 2024 Ricky, Inc. made its Annual Winter supplies delivery to Boston Public Healths community organizations AHOPE & PAATHS.
This year's delivery was made in individual boxes for individual distribution instead of filled backpacks. The staff at AHOPE & PAATHS stated that this would be a more efficient use of the materials since not everyone uses the same items. They can now fill individual requests for what the person actually needs!
Our winter supplies included hats, gloves, socks, men's & women's underwear, masks, hand warmers, Mylar Thermal blankets, rain ponchos, Fleece blankets, backpacks, Chapstick, band aids, Bacitracin, deodorant, Men's razors and 5 completed hygiene bags for women.

On Saturday January 27, 2024, the Ricky, Inc. van went mobile again and this time stopped in at a new nonprofit organization called the Boston Backpack Project, located in Stoneham, MA.
This great organization receives supplies and material donations that they pack into backpacks and make weekly trips into Boston to distribute these materials to persons experiencing homelessness and substance use disorder (SUD). Many of these hardworking, dedicated volunteers have also suffered personal loses of loved ones from SUD and want to help others in crisis.
