DIY Volunteer Opportunity - Personal Care Kits

DROP OFF DATES:

Tuesday, November 19, 2024   11am – 2pm

Friday, December 6, 2024   11am – 2pm  

Thursday, December 12, 2024    11am – 2pm

Organizational Beneficiary: Richmond Behavioral Health Authority

IMPACT:  RBHA serves over 13,000 individuals – children and adults – every year.  Approximately 30% of those we serve have no Medicaid, insurance, or means to pay for services.  We do not turn people away based on their inability to pay.  Many of those we serve do not have the financial resources to acquire basic items to maintain minimal, personal hygiene and health standards.  The Personal Care Kits will provide individuals with these needed items.

The DIY Personal Care Kits will be distributed to women and men receiving services across programs at RBHA.

Richmond Behavioral Health fearlessly champions the health, wellness, and recovery of individuals and families in our community.  Our vision is to create an inclusive, healthy community where individuals have the courage to believe in a better tomorrow and are inspired to reach their highest potential.

 

Supplies

  • 5 one gallon ziploc bags
  • 5 Notecards – with a personal note

  • toothpaste
  • tooth brushes
  • bar soap
  • wash cloth
  • mouthwash - without alcohol
  • unscented lotion

Step One:

  • Purchase and/or collect your supplies.  Items may be travel-size. We ask DIY volunteers to donate a minimum of 5 Hygiene Kits. Contributions over the minimum amount are welcomed, but we will not be able to document more than 3 service hours for any DIY project.

Step Two:

  • Place one of each item in each of the 5 ziploc bags.
  • Write an encouraging message on each notecard to include in the bags.

  • Drop off your project at RBHA on any of the following dates/times:

Tuesday, November 19, 2024   11am – 2pm

Friday, December 6, 2024   11am – 2pm

Step Four:

  • Sharing your time and resources is a great gift to others.  We hope that through your giving, you receive something beneficial in return – the feeling of doing good for someone in need and knowing you have had a direct, positive impact in someone’s life. Talking through the purpose of the project as you complete it is a great way for all involved to gain a connection to those being served through your generosity.  Here are some questions to help guide conversation:
    • How will this project help someone in need?
    • What do we know about the importance of building a community made to help each other?
    • Did our feelings about the recipients of this project change as we completed the project?
    • What worked well about this project?
    • What else can we do now?  Are there other ways we can help?

 

Step Five:
