Corinne Hindes and Katrina Kirsebom – Warm Winters
High school students Corinne Hindes and Katrina Kirsebom have both been avid downhill skiers since they were very young. When Corinne and Katrina were just eleven years old, they found that they were often searching through ski resorts’ lost and found looking for gloves, hats and other small items they lost on the trails. They noticed how full these boxes usually were and decided to start a project to get these forgotten items to the homeless in their area to help them stay warm through the winters. They founded Warm Winters in 2011 as a grassroots effort and since they started, they’ve given over 5,000 items to close to 3,000 people in the San Francisco area.
