Celebrate with a Collection Drive
Hosting a collection drive is easier than you think. For your next birthday party, request that your guests bring hygiene products to be donated in lieu of gifts. Or for your graduation party. Or for your Bar/Bat Mitzvah. When it comes to celebrations, the sky is the limit!
Collection drives are also super effective at high schools, college campuses, work places, and are a great idea for community service projects. If you are interested in hosting a drive, please contact Abby MacDonald at 617-795-1608 or AMacDonald@hopeandcomfort.org.
