Donate Items
FOOD DRIVE: We will NOT be conducting our usual Food Drives. We are anticipating that a larger number of families may need assistance this year, than last year. Your extra efforts to help this year are greatly appreciated. TOY COLLECTION: We will also NOT be collecting toys at our many businesses that generously allow us to do that.
Schools supplies: pencils, crayons, paper, notebooks, glue, backpacks.
Adopt-a-family. We will provide you with a family that needs help for Christmas. Select items from their "wish list", we'll provide a food voucher, and make someone's Christmas extra special. Attached is the program guidelines for adopting children.
Donate Time
Due to Covid-19 we will be needing considerably less volunteers this year. The number we’ll need is yet to be determined. We will directly contact some of our “regular” volunteers, if we need help. We will NOT be conducting our normal sorting events this year.
