The Gimme Shelter Project grew from Michelle Vitale’s work  with the homeless and it is to bring awareness to the 16% homeless increase in New Jersey(taken from the Homeless Point In Time Count).

Ms. Vitale has created 8 out of 16 weatherized blankets with the intent to give them away after the full 16 are made. The other 8 have organized Stitch Ins so the community can contribute to the project.

4 out of Vitale’s 8 blankets are currently on view at Windows on Columbus with an an opening this Friday March 6th from 6 to 8. Also works from Gail Wilbury

The organized Stitch In will take place on Sunday March 8th
Jersey City City Hall 280 Grove Street from 12 noon to 3pm
