PERSONAL CARE KITS
Please be sure to acknowledge the DIY and Kits Project Waiver, and follow the directions carefully.
WHAT TO DO:
Please download a guide with directions for making personal care kits HERE
You or your team will host a drive or purchase the supplies, complete the project, and drop off the completed project to the appropriate location. You may log your hours through the self-log feature of your profile after registering for the event and completing your project.
EXTRA: You may create kid-friendly kits by adding in a small toy, activity, game, etc.
If you would like to hold a drive, you can find some helpful tips HERE.
More helpful tips for completing DIY projects can be found HERE.
For anyone collecting hours, we will verify one half-hour plus one hour for every two kits with card created. These hours are capped at 10.5 hours for one participant.
Kits must contain EVERY item listed and be in a decorated bag with a decorated card to receive full service hours.
When finished, contact our project coordinator here to let them know how many kits you have and to coordinate drop-offs. Please note: due to the limited staff capacity of our team and our partners, it may take 3-5 days to respond and coordinate delivery.
WHY THIS KIT:
DIY Volunteering allows families and groups of all ages and sizes to participate in flexible and meaningful community service opportunities from the comfort of their own homes or offices. DIY projects can be combined with social events, business meetings, celebrations, and more. Purchasing items or hosting a drive and assembling personal care kits are a critical way volunteers can address a real community need individually or as a group, family, school or neighborhood.
Kits will be dispersed to our Full Service School network to be distributed to students or through other non-profit partner agencies who serve the homeless or veteran population.
