Susan Stern, our HSMAI chapter’s Director of Community Relations, has asked me to pass along the following information regarding the annual Hope Tote Campaign sponsored by the Broward Outreach Centers. Their goal is to fill tote bags (they’ll send them to you to fill) with hygiene products such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc.
In addition, they are going to be giving out over 25-30 Easter baskets to the children in their facilities. They’re looking for filled baskets (and will take any number you can bring).
On March 21, Good Friday, they are holding a program called “Thanksgiving in March” where they will be feeding approximately 200 homeless and needy. For this event, they need about 140 volunteers (contact: Diela Chariot if interested in volunteering for this event at dchariot@caringplace.org ) Also as part of this program, they will be “washing the feet” of the homeless and giving out new and used shoes. They are looking for sneakers but will take all kinds, foot washing items (or funds to buy them) as well as food (ham, mashed potatoes, and green beans). Don’t forget the homeless are men, women, AND children.
If any of you would like to participate in helping or helping get the items for these events or need more information, contact Franchine Daley, Community Development Associate, Broward Outreach Center-Hollywood. Her direct phone line is: 954-620-4038 or email fdaley@caringplace.com. Make sure you tell her you read about her program on our HSMAI website.
