Over the years, we have received countless inquiries from the public on how they can lend a helping hand to Reach Out Speak Out. The question always warms our hearts and inspires us to continue our mission of providing support to those in need. If you too are wondering how you can contribute, there are several ways you can do so.
First and foremost, we are in desperate need of volunteers for our auxiliary committee. It is a very imprtant role that helps us function on a daily basis! Additionally, we are constantly seeking gift cards for our families, ranging from popular retailers such as Walmart, Publix, Winn Dixie, Walgreen’s, to gas stations. These cards provide much-needed assistance to our families every month. We even have a Scrip Program where you can purchase your gift cards through Reach Out Speak Out and a percentage of your purchase will be donated to our non-profit organization – at no extra cost to you! Of course, cash donations are also greatly appreciated and are tax-deductible.
It is important to note that everyone involved in Reach Out Speak Out – including our Board of Directors, Advisory Board of Trained Counselors, and Auxiliary Committee members – are all volunteers. This means that every penny donated goes directly towards assisting our families. We have no paid employees!
And lastly, a special mention for donations. These contributions, whether it be through volunteering your time or sharing your talents or treasure, are vital for us to continue growing and fulfilling our purpose. Our families are constantly in need of gift cards for groceries and gas as well as toiletries, gluten-free food items, and household essentials like laundry and cleaning supplies. As our organization expands, so does our need for donations and volunteers. We are always available to speak at civic or community events, as well as churches – so don’t hesitate to reach out if you know of an opportunity for us to spread awareness about Reach Out Speak Out.
Currently, we are in the midst of planning our biggest fundraiser of the year – The 10th Annual Purple Passion. This event is held annually during Domestic Violence Awareness month in October. Our silent auction is one of the most extensive in the city, featuring gift baskets in every price range donated by generous citizens, businesses, foundations, local sports teams, and restaurants. All proceeds from this event go directly towards supporting our cause. If you or your organization would like to contribute to this noble cause, please don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or call 813-985-1970. Thank you for your support!If you can help us by giving an item for the silent auction, we would very much appreciate your gift. Themed baskets are always popular items. Other suggestions include:
