Host a Drive for Bedding, Towels or Kitchen Essentials
We are always looking for volunteers to organize drives for items that are in short supply. These items can include new towels, sheets, comforters, and blankets. We also need new or gently used pots and pans as well as other essential kitchen items.
Contact us so we can help you plan your drive for maximum effectiveness.

Thanks for leading this project . . . your efforts ensure that our clients receive critically needed items.
“Thank you and all the volunteers of Mission of Deeds for presenting me with a brand new bed and all the bedding I needed and more. That Saturday night I had a great night’s sleep and suddenly all the other matters needing my attention seemed lots less burdensome because my mind was so much clearer and relaxed.”
A single mother of three, coming from a shelter for abused women explained that she was “so stressed, anxious, and embarrassed when [she] first arrived, but everyone made it easy to relax, making this a very pleasant and joyous experience.” After they received their furniture, one of her children exclaimed to the volunteer “This is my first real bed!”
