BIRTHDAY BAGS!
Imagine you can't afford to get a cake for a loved ones birthday?!
This is a reality for some, so we are happy to provide this small but meaningful Party in a bag!
Each bag includes:
Cake Mix & Frosting - Birthday Card - Balloons & Banner
Candles - 1 can of Sprite
Use the Sprite instead of eggs, oil and water!
This is a fun and easy fundraiser or collection your group can do. Collect the items and then put together the party bags!!!
We share with clients and other non-profits.
Big thanks to the Bell Canto Children's Choir!
MONTHLY FEMININE HYGIENE BAGS
We collect feminine hygiene products all year long, to provide this basic need to our clients and partnering agencies.
Did you know that the LINK card cannot be used to purchase feminine hygiene items!?
- Bag of Pads
- Bag of Tampons/liners/pads
- Teen Bag
These are free for Individuals or other nonprofits.
HYGIENE PRODUCT NEEDS
We are always in need of travel sized items, but larger sized items are great too, must be new and not expired.
Our goal is to make bags and to share these items with other non-profits and the community including the homeless population.
What goes in our basic bags?
Toothpaste, toothbrush, mini floss, liquid body wash, wash rag, shampoo/conditioner, hand wipes, tissue, and deodarant.
Please take a look at the list we created on Amazon. Thank you!
FEEDING KIDS
Suburban Access Outreach provides nutritious, nonperishable, easy-to-prepare food to school kids. We ensure students have enough food on the weekends when they can't depend on school meals to avoid hunger.
You can help.
Do a fundraiser and help us collect food or donate to help fund this need.
TURKEY GIVEAWAY
Every year, we provide complete Thanksgiving meals to 1000 families.
While we know this does not solve the food inequities in our area, we hope it shines a light on the problem of hunger in our community and provides much-needed relief and joy during the holiday season. This couldn't happen without your generous donations!
VOLUNTEER
Come in and volunteer!
We can't get everything done without our volunteers! We hope it will leave you having fun and feeling good!
We need helpers to sort, hang, and organize in our Homewood location.
Are you in High School and need community service hours, we can help.
