SUMMARY:Make a Difference from Home: Toiletry Packing
DESCRIPTION:Make a difference from home by creating Pack with Purpose toiletry kits for families in need across Greater MetroWest NJ. This meaningful at-home volunteer opportunity for individuals\, families\, and groups is a valuable way to support our community. Work together on a simple\, hands-on project— you’ll receive a list of recommended items along with easy packing instructions.  \nOnce completed\, kits can be dropped off at a designated location near you during the scheduled drop-off period—turning everyday items into dignity\, care\, and impact. Locations and hours for drop off will be determined once registration is completed.
