Description

The 23rd Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service Blanket & Toiletry Drive is Thursday Network’s annual event to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. During the month of January, communities within DC, Prince George’s County, and Montgomery County will be asked to donate items and funds to create care packages for housing-unstable residents. On January 16th, we will host a package assembly event in collaboration with Dunbar High School to create care packages and deliver to people in need. Volunteers will assist in creating packages that consist of blankets, snacks, deodorants, feminine hygiene products (e.g., tampons and pads), floss, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, toothpastes, soaps, and words of encouragement. This year’s  goal is to deliver 2,000 packages to people in need throughout DC, Prince George’s County, and Montgomery County. You can donate items by purchasing items from Thursday Network Amazon Wishlist Volunteers are encouraged to donate the items listed in our wishlist. Mask are encourage but not required Any event related questions or suggestions, please contact: Brion Baylor at [email protected] and (202) 277-3736
