Many groups support St. Columba by activities that take little time at their meetings, but make a huge difference in the help that we can provide to those in need. The following is a list of ideas that your group can implement.
1. Collect items that we need at the Day Center: - food pantry items - used clothes - toiletries - linens - coffee
2. Make sandwiches for our Day Center - groups get together and purchase supplies to make sandwiches: bread, baggies, cheese, ham – no condiments - make sandwiches as part of the group meeting put each sandwich into a sandwich bag, put all sandwiches into the bread sleeve and deliver to St. Columba.
3. Create another snack for the Day Center folks - some groups have made “trail mix” of various snacks, including cereal, candy, pretzels, nuts, etc. - put it all in individual baggies that can be handed out with the sandwiches
4. Create hygiene kits for homeless individuals - include hotel/sample size of some of the following: shampoo soap toothbrush toothpaste razors
5. Special occasion treats: - e.g., baggies of Easter candy or cookies for Easter, Valentine’s Day or other holidays
Please, call Alicia at (757) 627-6748 if you are interested in helping in one of these ways or have other ideas to help those in need.
