Dignity Drives
Most schools encourage, expect, and/or require students to do some kind of community service works, 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 [toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash, and dental floss]. Dividing the 32 most-needed product categories into 8 subcategories of 4 related items simplifies both explaining the project for donor group members and the shopping for donors AND naturally provides the variety of brands, forms, etc. our vision of restoring dignity through freedom of choice requires. **Covid-19 notwithstanding.
