Getting Started:
To organize a food and supply drive for Kits to Heart’s recipients, please follow these steps:
- Decide on a few locations and times to allow people to drop off items. Consider reaching out to local businesses, schools, and other organizations to help.
- Share your collection drive using text, email, Facebook, Nextdoor, and other channels that work best for you. Let people know why you are holding this drive, and where and how they can contribute.
- Motivate people to donate by sending reminders about the deadlines and setting goals for the items collected and the number of participants!
- (Optional) Share a photo on social media and tag @kitstoheart! Show off your work in action!
- Deliver the items collected. After your drive is over, please stop by to leave items at the front door at any time. The address: 6941 Crossfield Ct. Clarksville, MD 21029.
