You can help Open Door in the following ways.  Maybe pick a different project each month of the year!  Mix it up, make it fun and interesting, something different each month!

One month you could:

• Put a box in the lobby of your church or workplace to collect socks and underwear for the Showering Program, or

• Choose one day of the week to collect spare change for Children's bibles or Bibles for the Chaplaincy program, or

• Get a group together to sponsor the Golden Agers one Monday afternoon (this would include a meal and a program, such as Bingo with prizes, Line Dancers, Singing, etc. ~ use your imagination), or

• Take up a collection of canned goods and non-perishable food items, or

• Collect personal hygiene items for the Showering Program (soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, combs), or

• Collect new backpacks for the Children & Youth Program, or

• Collect, new or gently used, backpacks for the Showering Program, or

• In cold months, collect blankets, coats, gloves and hats of all sizes, or

• In November, collect toys and items for the Sharing Christmas program.  Our program provides Christmas gifts for children and youth up to age 18, or

• In July or August, collect school supplies to give the children and youth, or

• Choose a month to collect office supplies for Open Door (a case of copy paper, pens, staples, sticky pads, colored paper, scissors, staplers, tape and desktop tape dispensers), or

• Postage stamps for the women in the Transition Home or Showering Program participants, or

• Throw a kitchen shower for Open Door's kitchen (pots, pans, towels, serving utensils), or

• Use your imagination or check our wish list for other items you can collect for the programs at Open Door.
