Currently, we have just over 500 care packages ready to be shipped out from our storage unit, so while we will not be hosting a package assembly day in June, we still have a great need for financial donations to cover the cost of postage to ship these packages.
Our goal is to raise $20,000 to cover the cost of shipping these 500 packages PLUS another 500 packages in time for the holidays. We know we can count on you to help us reach this goal! Donate Here
We also need to replenish our store of items in preparation for the holiday package assembly, so your donations of items for the care packages is also critical. Please see our list of requested items below to see how you can help. These package, filled with LOVE from HOME are priceless.
