Urgent Needs

We need your help! The families we serve – often the most vulnerable in our community – have been hit with crisis upon crisis. First, COVID-19 brought new challenges to the delivery of our services and to daily life activities for our participants. Now, many grocery stores in their neighborhoods have been decimated by riots and fires.

We’ve established a food and supply “pantry” from which we can provide individuals and families with those necessary items they can no longer get in their community: non-perishable food (we do have minimal refrigeration as of June 18, so items like milk are now being accepted), baby and child supplies, personal hygiene products, and household supplies. We’re asking specifically for a variety of “kits” to address each need. If you’re able to purchase and assemble donations into these bundles it’ll help with efficient distribution to our Avivo families. If you’re only able to provide one piece of a kit, that’ll make a difference too.
