How It Makes A Difference

Many of the basic items we use every day are not readily available to those with limited incomes. By conducting a collection drive at your school, church, synagogue, or local business, you will help make sure that the people/families we work with have access to items like clean clothing, toiletries and other daily essentials.

Where to Serve

From Home/Anywhere*

Instructions

Decide when and where you will host your donation drive. For questions or to discuss what kind of drive would be most helpful at the current time, please contact Breanna Shearin to coordinate donations at bshearin@erescuemission.org or at (818) 960-0410. Contact Breanna Shearin to coordinate donations at bshearin@erescuemission.org or at (818) 960-0410 to find out what types of items we are most in need of before setting up your donation drive. See our current needs list. Once you know what items you will be collecting, make signs and set up your collection boxes/bins at the location(s), clearly indicating what you are collecting, how long your collection will last, and that your collection will benefit the people served by the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission. We suggest running your collection for at least two weeks. Tell friends, family, neighbors, teammates and others about your collection and encourage them to donate. Email and social media are great ways to share news of your drive. Collect items from the bins during the course of your collection drive. At the end of your collection period, contact Breanna Shearin at mailto:bshearin@erescuemission.orgbshearin@erescuemission.org or at (818) 960-0410 to set up a time to deliver your donations. (Please note: In some instances, particularly for drives involving larger items, https://www.erescuemission.org/giving/schedule-a-donation-pickup/a pick-up by one of our drivers can be scheduled.)
