Fill the Need: October

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 October:

  1. Drop It Off: This month, we have a big need for sheet sets of all sizes and lamps. All items should be gently-used (or new!) and free of rips or stains. You can find donation drop-off hours for our Silver Spring Center here.

  2. 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 Coffee Creamer and Sugar (for coffee for visitors and workshop attendees), and we are also looking for Dove Sensitive Skin Soap for our Market Bag program.

  3. 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 grocery gift cards to help meet an increase in requests for food assistance. Your donations give us the flexibility to purchase cards for stores closest to where our clients live. 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.
