Host Your Own Drive
For your convenience, we have posted flyers here for your organization to host its own Food Drive, Turkey Basket Drive, or Holiday Toy Drive. Or host a Cell Phone Drive any time of the year. All cell phones that are collected are recycled via an e-waste program and proceeds will go towards Friendly Center services.
Please let us know if you are interested in hosting one of these important drives. If you have any questions, please call us at 714-771-5300.
In-kind Donations
Your donation, large or small, makes a real difference in the lives of the people we serve every day.
Due to Friendly Center's dynamic range of services, the need for school supplies, office supplies, food, hygeine items, and clothing are in constant need. By donating in-kind gifts, you directly affect those in most need. Here are a few examples of in-kind donations we are seeking:
- Laptops for our Success for All Children and Youth tutoring programs.
- Classroom supplies and backpacks for our Education Programs.
- Non-perishable food items and toiletries for the Emergency Assistance Program.
- Diapers and baby formula/food.
- Children's books for the Tutoring Center and student library.
- Clothing for all ages.
- Folding tables for our Education Programs.
- Folding chairs for our Education Programs.
- Gift cards are another great way to give while allowing for flexibility for our current needs (i.e. Target, Wal-mart, office supply stores)
There are also many sponsorship and underwriting opportunities available for various fundraising events. Please contact the Marketing and Events Coordinator at 714-771-5300 x22 for more information.
