Before COVID-19, clients brought their own bags but we are now pre-bagging items and putting them in grocery store carts to minimize contact. We have been helping to serve 60+ households on 2 or more days each week. We need NEW bags and additional items to distribute supplies to our clients.
DONATE:
- Face shields (our volunteers are close to the clients when getting their info or loading for those who need help. We had several cases this week where the families that came had Corona Virus or a relative in the house with them picked up for them. Masks are not enough in these cases.)
- NEW or unused reusable grocery bags: Paper grocery bags (preferably 69# weight but will take any of them), Plastic grocery store bags (used to double bag so the weight of the groceries don't break the bags)
- Diapers all sizes but especially size 4 anad 5
- Adult diapers size XXL
- Personal hygiene items
- Grocery store gift cards in increments of $20 or more (we use these for special needs like Ensure, boost, vegan food items)
Please contact Pat Drumming at pdrumming@rainbowcdc.org or on 301-625-2561 or 240-628-9154 if you can help. She will share information on where and when drop-offs are being accepted.
Thank you for helping us help our neighbors in need!
