Have a Food Drive
Next to money, food is our greatest need. Have
your school, church, service club or business collect food for
Inter-Faith. We'll be thrilled to pick it up!
Have a "Shower Shower"
Have people collect all personal care items
that you would use in your own bathroom: shampoo, conditioner,
toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, razors, tampons, lotion, etc.
For people who are struggling to feed their family, these luxuries
are often too expensive.
Have a Baby Shower
Get a group of friends together and have everyone
bring items that a new mother needs for her new bundle of joy.
It will help the little one have a great start on life! Items
needed: diapers, bottles, food, clothes, blankets, etc.
Sponsor a child for Ready, Set, School!
You can outfit a child for the first day of
school with new clothes, shoes and school supplies. It makes a
HUGE difference to their self-esteem as they start the new school
year.
Thanksgiving Baskets
Collect food that will be used for
Thanksgiving Baskets for families and seniors who would
otherwise not be able to celebrate the holiday. Items needed:
juice, coffee, French fried onions, cream of mushroom soup,
stuffing, yams, cranberry sauce, cookies or candy, marshmallows,
etc. Money, or "Turkey Bucks," is always needed. "Turkey Bucks"
are used to purchase turkeys, fresh produce and items that we do
not get enough of donated.

Adopt-a-Family or Senior for the December
Holidays
Share the warmth of the Holiday Season with
those who otherwise would not have anything. You get information
on who's in your family, their names, ages, gift request and clothing
size. We ask for a new article of clothing for each child, a new
toy or gift, a little something for the parent(s) and a gift certificate
for the holiday meal. That is our minimum requirement for our
sponsors, but many sponsors go above and beyond that and our families
are thrilled!! For our seniors we ask for a box of food for them
since many of them cannot make it to the grocery store as well
as a gift.
Have a Paper Drive
Collect toilet paper, paper towels, napkins,
diapers, etc. These items are always needed!
Pick Up Donations for Inter-Faith
Many churches and businesses have regular donation
collections for Inter-Faith. We are in need of a volunteer who
could pick up the items and bring them to Inter-Faith.
Drive for a Senior Program
People who are willing to help seniors with
rides for medical transportation, grocery shopping, etc. are always
needed.
Valentine Boxes
Fill shoe boxes with goodies for the Valentine's Holiday. Candy,
cards, toothbrush, toothpaste, Kleenex and any other goodies you
would like to add. We hand these out to people who come in for
help.
Easter Baskets
You fill 'em and we'll give them out to parents for their children!
Socks and Underwear
We only give out new socks and underwear
in our clothing bank and we never have enough.
Jelly Drive
Columbine United Church has never let us run out of peanut butter
in 35 years! We get bread in four times a week, but what good
is it to give out bread and peanut butter without the jelly?
Quilts
If you belong to a quilting group, why not make quilts that we
can give out to people who would treasure them?
Birthday Boxes
Fill a box with everything a parent would need for their child's
birthday. Cake pan, cake mix, frosting, party favors, napkins
and a gift for the child. For parents worried about feeding their
family they often think a birthday celebration is something they
can't afford.
Spring Cleaning
When you clean out your closets, don't forget we would love the
clothes you or your children no longer wear.
