- Packing hygiene and laundry care kits including deodorants, feminine products, bar soaps, laundry soap* stain removers. When a group collaborates to pack care kits, this alleviates financial stress for our families. More importantly it enables adults and children to wear clean clothes and feel and look their best, boosting confidence for the whole family. During Covid-19, hand sanitizer and masks are also needed. *Laundry soap sheets such as Green Earth brand, are now a better alternative to large plastic bottles.
- Donate an electric skillet or crockpot: Help reduce dependency on fast food and encourage healthier choices. These appliances allow adults a way to cook more nutritious meals and provide for their loved ones.
- Grocery store gift cards give Motel Connect families the freedom to grocery shop and supplement our food boxes. $50-$100 will provide nutritious food and urgent supplies to a small family living in transitional housing for one week.
- Recently one group filled tote bags with art supplies for each child in the Motel Connect Program. This encouraged creativity and expression for the children, plus it put big smiles on their faces. Additionally, it aided students with supplies for at home learning during the pandemic. Art supplies and crafts were also provided for the parents, which allowed valuable hands on interaction with their children.

Organizations, churches, or individuals who want to partner with us can organize their own drives and fundraisers to help local families during this transitional period of homelessness. Motel Connect will gladly pick up your group donations.
We never know how many food insecure families that we will have on our schedule each week, but we are dedicated to serving them all. You can make a difference in the lives of those living in transitional housing, especially the children, by partnering with Motel Connect. |
