BUILD CARE KITS
Your team will prepare and assemble care kits filled with essential items to share with our clients.
These care kits will include items that most of us take for granted, but are luxuries for those experiencing homelessness.
We will work with you to customize the care kits dependent on the needs of our clients and the season.
Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator to learn more about the Build A Care Kit program.
CLOTHING DRIVE
Get together with a group and help us collect gently used or new clothing items to distribute through our Clothing Room program.
You can run a clothing drive at your work or school and with your sports team and your friends. It’s a great way to challenge yourselves as a group, work together to achieve a goal and encourage a culture of giving amongst your peers.
