Maslow Project is a small, grassroots organization. We value community involvement and rely on volunteers with a diverse range of skills. Here are just some of the ways you can take part.

Fundraising

Here are some simple, easy-to-implement ideas for helping Maslow Project’s youth and families. It may not seem like a lot to bring in one pack of socks or one box of crayons, but if everyone does it, it can make a huge difference! Think about all of the places that people gather on a regular basis – at your office, church, schools and classrooms, civic organizations, etc. – all of these places hold the opportunity to contribute toward a brighter future for at-risk youth in the Rogue Valley.

“Undy Sundy”

Each member of a church congregation brings a pair or pack of new underwear to the service to collect for Maslow kids.

Sock Drive

Each person in a classroom/agency/office brings one pair or pack of socks.

Canned Food Drive

Everyone brings in canned food, snack food, and other shelf-stable food items.

Hygiene Supply Drive

Have everyone go through their bathroom cabinet and bring in all of those unopened travel-sized bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and soap to create hygiene kits for kids.

School Supply Drive

With this highly mobile population, we get new students enrolling in school all year long. We can always use backpacks and school supplies.

Clothing Drive

We all know what the average teenager’s closet looks like! Arrange for a class or school to go through their closets and pull out all of their good condition, outgrown clothes, and donate them to Jessica’s Closet.
