The Wish Project is an organization whose mission is to help families in need establish long-term residency by providing basic needs to provide critical immediate assistance to homeless families, victims of fire or disaster; and to support the community. Their goal is to provide local people in need with basic furniture, home goods and baby goods, while helping the planet by recycling used goods. Only when people have their basic needs met can they move forward and out of the social services system. By providing basic goods to people in crisis, they help alleviate some stress in the short term while helping to end homelessness in the long term.
To that end, they are looking for volunteers age 15 or older to help out in various ways. Please follow this link for more detailed information about how you can help, and see below for a flyer which provides a little more information.
