DESC is almost ready to have clients move into Birch Grove and we need your help to make our 120 incoming tenants feel at home in their apartments right away!
Bedding, kitchen, bathroom supplies and other items transform empty apartments into comfortable homes. With your donations we can buy these household goods that are essential to easing our clients’ transition into their new permanent homes, and we are so grateful for your support in making them feel at home.
There are two ways to help out
Donate, and help set up
If you’d like to donate AND SET UP an apartment, ADOPT an apartment at Birch Grove!
The whole family can participate in setting up an apartment!
Thursday, June 18th from 4-7 p.m. This special family-friendly event for apartment adopters includes activities such as making welcome signs, games and safe snacks for all.
Donate, and we’ll set it up
If you’d like to donate without setting up an apartment, SPONSOR an apartment at Birch Grove!
Sponsoring an apartment means that your donation will purchase supplies and materials that another volunteer will set up in-person.
We will also be hosting a short-term DESC clothing drive concurrently with the opening of Birch Grove! This will help us boost our highest need items in our client resource center and start a clothing closet for the new tenants moving into Birch Grove. If you see any items on this flyer and would like to bring them when you volunteer, we would love to get those resources directly into our client’s hands.
