SUPPORT FOR PARTICIPANTS IN PLYMOUTH
We are excited to announce that we have a Plymouth Amazon wish list for the items needed for our participants in the area. These items will be shipped directly to our office in Plymouth.
RUN A DRIVE
Running a drive for essential items is great way to involve friends, family, co-workers, or group members in supporting our mission. Members of our Development Team are available to advise you on how to most effectively run a drive. We can recommend items currently needed and, in some instances, can help develop materials or promote your drive on social media. At the culmination of your drive, we can also arrange for a staff person to come speak with your group.
If you are interested in running a drive to benefit FBMS, please review our Guidelines for Hosting a Third Party Fundraiser and complete our Third Party Fundraiser Form.
PROVIDE A WELCOME HOME BASKET
Welcome Home Baskets are made up of essential household items that we provide for participants moving into permanent supportive housing (PSH). It's a meaningful way to help someone settle in and start making their apartment feel like home. If you're interested in providing a Welcome Home Basket to our next PSH resident, shop our Amazon list today.
