Host a Drive

HOW TO GET STARTED

How do you get started with a drive?

Every season, we will have a new poster with updated needs that you can post in your place of worship, business, or community center. All you need is a large box and to spread the word in your personal network. Please remind contributors that USED items of any kind are not accepted. For example, clothes must be new and still have the tags on them.

We kindly ask that you notify South Park Inn when you start a drive so that we can arrange for space and select your drop-off day. South Park Inn staff cannot collect off-site drive donations.

Contact the Volunteer and Development Manager at volunteering@southparkinn.org with questions.
