Fill the Need: August
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 August:
-
Drop It Off: This month, we have a big need for non-perishable food for the pantry at our Silver Spring Center. The most needed items include peanut butter, tuna, rice, pasta, and pasta sauces. Consider hosting a canned food drive in your neighborhood to help fill this need! You can find donation drop-off hours for our Silver Spring Center 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, our Ward 8 Hub is looking for Solar Charger Power Banks. Many clients who visit the Hub are living without electricity, and these provide a way to charge phones and other devices.
- 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 bed sheets of all sizes, as we often do not have enough sheet sets on hand to include with the beds we redistribute. 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.
