3. Alliance for Interfaith Ministries (AIM) Secure Seniors Program
AIM is urgently seeking donations for their Secure Seniors Program. This program is specifically for seniors in the community who have recently been homeless or are in danger of becoming homeless. Due to the ending of both the additional unemployment benefit and moratorium on evictions at the end of this month, the need is great and anticipated to skyrocket. Here's how you can help:
- Select from the list of needed items LINKED BELOW.
- Notify the AIM office (434 972 1704) and let them know when you plan to drop off your items. (Address: 1807 Emmet Street North, Suite 6A)
- Call again when you arrive; you may leave items outside the door.
