Help VB Home Now “Pack the Box” on April 23 to Support Families and Individuals Experiencing Homelessness
Community Donation Drive to Be Held at Housing Resource Center
VB Home Now foundation, in partnership with Virginia Beach Housing and Neighborhood Preservation, invites the community to "Pack the Box" with items to support homeless and recently housed families and individuals on Saturday, April 23, from 10 a.m. to noon. The goal of the community donation drive is to fill the Housing Resource Center (HRC) shipping containers with items that unsheltered individuals will need during the warmer months and help others moving from homelessness to housing settle into their own place. Donations can be dropped off during the event in the parking lot of the HRC, located at 104 N. Witchduck Road.
Most needed items include:
- $5 fast food gift cards
- Bottled water
- Hats
- Ponchos
- Sunscreen
- Lip balm with SPF
- Bug spray
- Bed pillows (new)
- Diapers and wipes
- Liquid laundry detergent
- Trash bags
- Cleaning supplies
For a complete list of items or to make a monetary donation, please visit www.vbhomenow.org. Donations are tax-deductible. Contact Erin Walker, resource development coordinator, at (757) 385-5760 or ewalker@vbgov.com for more information.
