Dignity Drives
Many schools encourage, even require, students perform community service hours, colleges expect it on applications, and offering employees incentives to give back to their community has become the norm for private sector businesses small to ginormous.** The Dignity Drive concept is appealing because the donor group gets to choose a specific category of related items to collect for donating to Marilyn’s Place, each with a catchy descriptive name like When I See You Smile for toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash, and dental floss. Narrowing down the items sought simplifies the explanation for donor group members and the shopping for actual donors while automatically providing the brand, flavor, etc. variety our mission envisions - restoring dignity through freedom of choice. **Covid-19 notwithstanding.
