Tarps Plus Plans Largest Tarp Drive For Homeless To Date! Leading tarp supplier, Tarps Plus, will be holding their annual tarp drive in Los Angeles this Thanksgiving and they plan to break their own record in tarps distributed. Poly tarps are a helpful tool for the homeless during the winter months. Hundreds of in the U.S. will die of hypothermia due to living on the streets every winter and a simple waterproof tarp can supply a protective shield against dampness and cold. Founder and CEO of Abadak, Michael Stein says, "We gave out over two thousand tarps to the L.A. city homeless last year; we will giving out nearly three thousand tarps this year." Stein says, if there are any tarps left over, they will leave the tarps with the Los Angeles Mission which heads the annual Thanksgiving gala. The mission will distribute the rest of the plastic covers to people as needed.
