Adopt-A-Box is an annual IHOC program. The purpose of Adopt-A-Box is to collect and distribute basic personal care items to men, women and children who are currently staying in shelters or using day centers. Like Pack-A-Sack, Adopt-A-Box is easy to participate in and is a great way to help those in need. All you need to do is take a shoe box and fill it with basic items such as: toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, baby shampoo, deodorant, underwear, shaving cream, hand lotions, razors, wash clothes, and socks. Once you have filled your shoebox or shoeboxes, mark each one “Man”, “Woman”, or “Child” based on the items you placed in it.
The MUMC youth are off to a very successful start in making “Adopt-a-Boxes” for the Interfaith Homeless Outreach Council. We have 32 completed boxes, 31 that are only missing 1 or 2 items, and enough supplies to make many more with just a few items. Our goal is 100 boxes. Our biggest needs are: empty shoeboxes, shaving cream, shampoo, and underwear. Items can be dropped off in the Narthex. We will be finishing the boxes on February 23. We have set up a Signup Genius, if you would like to let us know what you have to donate.
