Toy and Toiletry Drive for the Community Crisis Center (CCC
We need a few businesses and organizations in Reisterstown, Owings Mills, and Glyndon to volunteer to be a drop off site for donations! Please let us now right away so we can advertise these efforts to the public.
The CCC, is a local non-profit organization who assists families in crisis. They rely on donations and work with the Maryland Food Bank to distribute food and personal hygiene items to families in Reisterstown, Owings Mills, and Glyndon.
The demand for these items is up 400%!
What used to last a month, now is distributed in a week. CCC needs your help! Currently, CCC is not accepting drop off donations of supplies from individuals. However, CCC will accept bulk donations from the Northwest Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, we are asking businesses and organizations in the area to volunteer as a drop off site where individuals could drop off toys and toiletry items in a designated box.
