Opportunities for Kindness
Washer & Dryer Needed
We have a pantry family of 4 who is in desperate need of a washer and dryer. Due to the current conditions of stay at home order from the Governor we are unable to pick up and deliver used washing machine and dryer as we normally do. The 6ft social distancing must be observed in all that we continue to do.
We are requesting cash donations towards the purchase of one possibly from a discount store like Sears Outlet. Our goal is to raise $500.
Nursing homes in dire need of hand sanitizer donations.

NAPLS Students in Need of Food
In a constantly evolving crisis like this one, we are continually updating our processes and procedures at the New Albany Food Pantry to better protect ourselves, our families, and our community. We have determined that it is necessary to decrease traffic in and around the Heit Center and will no longer be accepting donations in person at the Heit Center, until further notice.
In the meantime, we will be accepting monetary donations via our website.
