The Translational Research Program’s (TRP) Service Group is supporting the charitable organization Fred Victor to host a donation drive for people experiencing homelessness in east Scarborough, Ontario.
WHAT?
We will be collecting donations of household products- from shampoo to dishes- to create “Home Starter Kits”, which will be distributed to support people experiencing homelessness as they transition to their modular housing units.
To see which “Home Starter Kit” items we are collecting, scroll down for a detailed list
Each Home Starter Kit will support the needs of one adult. Our goal for this drive is to collect enough resources to create at least 5 Home Starter Kits!
All donations will be provided to the residents of the Fred Victor supportive housing program in east Scarborough, Ontario at 4626 Kingston Road.
WHEN?
We will be accepting donations for this drive until Saturday, June 18th.
