Winter Item
Drive-a-Palooza

Want to help your neighbors this holiday season?

Join us for a Winter Item Drive-a-Palooza!

Help us keep our shelves stocked this winter by hosting a drive with your organization or group.

We’ve made it easy for you.

Simply contact our volunteer manager, choose a theme from our list to focus your drive, and start collecting.

Big or small, your drive can help ensure our community has the essentials during this winter season.

We kindly ask that you notify South Park Inn when you start a drive so that we can arrange for space and select your drop-off day.
South Park Inn staff cannot collect off-site drive donations.

Contact the Volunteer and Development Manager by December 15th to start your drive today.

  • Winter Coats

    Can you imagine stepping out in this cold weather without a winter coat?

    You can give the gift of warmth to members of our community by hosting a new winter coat drive for South Park Inn. 

  • A woven basket containing a glass plate, a blue plastic bowl, and a folded dark fabric item.

    Welcome Home Baskets

    Help move our guests into their new homes.

    When guests move on from the shelter, they are supplied with a Welcome Home Basket, a collection of cookware, bathroom essentials, bedding, and cleaning products to help make a seamless transition into stable housing.

    Yes, we need tissues!

    Flu season is upon us, and tissues are an absolute necessity. You can help ensure we never run out of tissues by hosting a tissue box drive.

    Give someone the gift of comfort this holiday season. Shampoos, soaps, and thermal layers are all examples of items we have on hand for our guests in shelter.

    When our guests move into their new home, you can help fill their pantry.
