“There’s no dignity in being cold and hungry. We believe in showing up consistently, again and again, for those people who often get overlooked, or feel like they’ve been forgotten,” said Zunaid Moti, founder of Moti Cares.

“The winter drive is about kindness, care, and reminding people they matter.”
