AUGUST Office Supply Drive

From mailing labels to paperclips, Open Arms uses many office supplies behind the scenes to help us fulfill our mission.

This month join our drive for needed office supplies: help our administrative volunteers be efficient without running out of staples, help our pack-out volunteers organize thousands of meals with clean, readable labels, and help our delivery volunteers get to our clients quickly by having enough copy-paper for maps.

We make use of our annual budget with efficiency and accountability, and as always we're watching every penny. In-kind support is one way you can help us balance our budget! So, drop off office supplies throughout the month of May (or all year long) and help our volunteers and staff continue to provide the quality of service all of us have come to rely on. If you'd like to donate dollars, simply donate online, and indicate that you'd like your donation to go towards office supplies.

Wondering what we need the most of? Below is a list of office supplies we use throughout our month. Have something that you don't see? Bring it in, and we'll make use of it! If your not quite sure if we could put it to use, contact Kent to find out.
