In-Kind Donations & Holiday Wish Program

In-Kind Donations (C1-A1) & Drives (C1-A2)

 Are you looking for an activity for a civic group or your place of employment?  Your coworkers and friends might enjoy doing an in-kind donation drive for HRI clients.  HRI needs volunteers to conduct donation drives for emergency client items.   Examples include:

• Baby items, such as diapers and clothing.
• Blanket drives during the winter and and umbrella drives during the spring.
• Hygeine items drives, for items such as deodarant, shampoo, toothpaste, and soap.
• International phone cards to help HRI clients stay in contact with their family and to obtain documentation for their legal cases.

Holiday Wish Program (C1-A3)

 Each fall HRI lends a hand to our neediest clients with the help of the community with HRI’s Holiday Wish Program. Each November, HRI asks our clients and their families to provide us with a list of basic items they need.  May clients request clothing and everyday household goods.  We also ask the client to suggest a few “wish” items, such a s book or alarm clock.  We then invite you and other members of the community to participate in our program by adopting a family and providing them with a gift and a grocery store gift card.
