Where to Donate Blankets to the Truly Needy?

Hello LKO, This winter, we’ve set a heartfelt goal to donate 1,000 blankets (kambals) to those who genuinely need them. However, we’ve faced a challenge: finding the real needy has proven to be quite difficult. While donating to existing ashrams or shelters seems like an easy option, we’ve noticed that many of these places already have an abundance of supplies, and we’ve even heard instances of items being resold, which defeats the purpose. We’ve donated less than 100 blankets so far, but we’re determined to reach as many people in need as possible before winter intensifies. Can you help us identify places, communities, or individuals in Lucknow who would truly benefit from this gesture? We’re looking for suggestions on how to directly reach those struggling to stay warm during these cold nights. (We have already 400 Kambals on hand and additional 500 have deposit paid for.) Any leads, advice, or contacts would mean the world to us. Thank you in advance for helping us make a difference! Warm regards, A member of Dhun — Lucknow (an unorganized network of individuals pan India who take on these type of projects)
