Types of Drives

From a one day event to month long drives, you can help us spread awareness and gather needed donations for our program.

Targeted Drives

Run a drive that specifically targets one type or product we need at the Center. This Halloween run a Toilet Paper drive! Encourage people to help paper our Center (where it belongs in the bathroom), rather than your neighbor's home!

Goal Specific Drives

Challenge your classmates or co-workers to gather a certain monetary amount worth of gift cards or fill a large box with toiletries. Sometimes setting a specific goal and celebrating milestones along the way help build excitement and participation!

Sponsor a Month

The Center runs from mid-November to mid-April (depending on the weather) each year. Can your organization, church, or group "sponsor" a month by running a drive for one of the month's of Code Blue? Place a box in your lobby or office and send out weekly reminders to your group. You'll be amazed how quickly you can fill that box each week.

Make it a Friendly Challenge

Many of us love a friendly competition. Turn your drive into a competition between departments at your business or between neighbors. Remember to keep it friendly, but a little challenge goes a long way to making a BIG IMPACT!

Drop Off / Pick Up

Let us help you promote your good deed! Once you schedule a drive, contact us and let us know so we can help you promote it and share your success with our followers. We will also coordinate a pick up or drop off time for that perfect team photo with all your donations.
