THIS IS A VIRTUAL VOLUNTEER / DONATION OPPORTUNITY AND A GREAT WAY TO HELP FROM HOME OR IN YOUR OWN COMMUNITY!
**Right now we're particularly in need of the following:
Bathroom: Bath mats, bath products (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, razors, etc), loofahs / shower puffs, shower curtains with liners and rings, small garbage cans and liners
Cleaning supplies: All cleaning supplies! List at https://opendoorsct.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Open-Doors-Housewarming-Drive.pdf
Kitchen: Can openers, cups and mugs, dish towels and potholders, flatware sets, kitchen utensil sets, pots and pans
Make a housewarming basket for someone moving into a new home! Fill a laundry basket with bathroom supplies, cleaning products, paper goods, kitchen items, clothes hangers and a nice surprise (like a key holder or welcome mat). You can also adopt a room or an entire apartment to help someone moving from shelter into their own home!
Grab your friends, family, faith group, school or place of employment and rally behind a neighbor's fresh start. You can host a month long drive to collect items, sit outside of your local grocery store for a day, or even decide to build a basket by asking friends or family or purchasing yourself for a family in need; the options are limitless.
Please find a list of most needed items here. If you'd like to hold an online donation drive, check out our Amazon wishlist!
