Fill the Need: November
In every monthly issue of A Wider Circle's First Friday newsletter, Fill the Need will highlight three specific ways you can help make an immediate impact. Whether you choose to Drop It Off, Ship It, or Fund It, your support makes it easy to fill our most urgent needs.
Here's how you can Fill the Need this November:
-
Drop It Off: This month, we have a big need for non-perishable food for the pantry at our Ward 8 Hub. With SNAP funding in flux, we anticipate a higher need for the emergency food assistance the Hub pantry provides. The most needed items include peanut butter, tuna, rice, pasta, and pasta sauces. Items can be dropped off at our Silver Spring Center, and you can find donation drop-off hours here.
-
Ship It: Want to help but don’t have the item on hand? Check out our Fill the Need Wishlist to purchase a high-need item and have it shipped directly to us. This month, we're looking for your help with two essential products that aren't covered by food benefits and are often cost-prohibitive: laundry detergent and diapers.
- Fund It: Some opportunities to support our work arise outside of our regular budget. Each month, we’ll share one specific item or service that your gift can help fund — something timely and meaningful that will make a real difference. This month, your donations will allow us to purchase beds so we can continue addressing our ongoing bed shortage. You can support this effort by filling out the donation form above.
With your support, we can provide our neighbors with exactly what they need, when they need it most.
