Agency Material Needs

Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community, but there are many other ways you can make a difference, too! Agencies sometimes have a hard time recruiting the materials needed to complete the many projects hosted during Make A Difference Day. Below is a list of materials requested by the participants of Make A Difference Day. If you or someone you know can help out, please contact the agency directly to confirm the need and details. Thank you for all that you do!
