Host a Drive

Here are steps to Host a Drive:

• Promote

  • We provide a custom flyer to share with your community. We suggest:
    • circulating 1-4 weeks before your collection date begins
    • printing flyers, posting to social media platforms and adding to newsletter or sending an email

• Collect

  • Pick your date(s) and time
    • Choose either a one day event or a range of days (i.e. 1-2 weeks or “for the month of _”)
    • Be specific in the collection times
  • Pick your location
    • Be clear with instructions of drop off point.
    • Use labeled tubs or carts to collect the items.

• Assemble (optional)

  • Assembly of the boxes can take anywhere from 1-3 hours depending on volume collected and number of volunteers.
  • This can be done on the same day of collection (i.e. collect in the morning and assemble in the afternoon) or a separate date/time.
  • We will deliver the boxes and other care package items the week of your assembly event.

After your event, Missing Pieces will contact you to arrange a day/time to pick up your collection or boxes. We will share through our social media forums the impact your drive has had on our community.
