While Bangalore enjoys pleasant weather most of the year, winter temperatures between November and January drop significantly at night. For hundreds of elderly homeless individuals, night-shift laborers, and pavement dwellers, sleeping outdoors without thermal protection is a severe hardship.
Sampige Foundation’s Blanket Donation Drive is a unique CSR engagement format that takes corporate volunteers into the city after hours for a quiet, deeply compassionate night relief drive.
What Makes Night Volunteering Unique?
Unlike daytime events, night drives offer a quiet, contemplative atmosphere that leaves a lasting emotional impact on corporate participants:
1. Kit Assembly: Employees gather at a community venue in the evening to fold and pack heavy, high-quality woolen blankets into protective travel bags.
2. Respectful Street Outreach: Guided by experienced Sampige Foundation field leads, small volunteer teams drive through designated city routes between 10:00 PM and midnight.
3. Dignified Distribution: Volunteers quietly place warm blankets over sleeping individuals on pavements, bus shelters, and near railway stations without causing disturbance or taking intrusive photos.
Transparency and Care
Every blanket distributed through Sampige Foundation is selected for durability and warmth. Corporate partners receive detailed impact reports outlining the number of beneficiaries reached and distribution routes covered.
