You can participate in one of two ways:
- Attend our in-person drop-off event on Saturday, April 11, in Davis
- Drop off donations anytime in April at our main office in Woodland or our Resource Center in Davis
Your support provides critical supplies and ensures survivors and their children have the essential items they need as they rebuild their lives. Kindly donate new items for this event. Thank you for standing with survivors and strengthening our community.
