It was a combined South Pasadena and neighboring agency effort as civic officials gathered at Holy Family Catholic Church on Wednesday, Aug. 7 to share water-repellent and heat-absorbing sleeping mats with those who live on the street.
The mats, made of repurposed surgical fabric stitched together, are a part of the non-profit “du cOeuR” Project, which is rapidly expanding in its mission since its 2017 inception to help comfort the homeless while recycling the durable material that would otherwise go to waste in landfills.
