Winter Needs for TAPIN

Posted

Thanks to the generous community support it received TAPIN (Touch A Person In Need) was able to supply holiday meals and gifts to hundreds of East Bay area clients. With a new year ahead the agency hopes to continue its exceptional services.
Volunteers drive clients to medical appointments as well as staff the agency's Food Closet, Housewares and Furniture Department, and sort Children's Clothing. All items are donated and distributed free to clients.
The Food Closet which may be accessed every 30 days provides a bag of basic, nutritionally balanced items as well as extras such as coffee, snacks, drinks, toiletries and paper goods. Currently, there is a need for cereals and peanut butter, though any and all non-perishable items are most gratefully accepted.
The housewares and linen closets are always in great need of pots, pans, small appliances and sheets, blankets, comforters and towels. During the winter season soup pots and slow cookers are often requested.
When donating children's clothing please be sure items are clean, in good repair and, due to limited space, seasonally appropriate.
Volunteers would welcome all donations dropped off during regular office hours of 9 to noon, Mon thru Fri. If those times are not convenient, please call the office at 247-1444 during those hours to make other arrangements. The agency would be happy to accommodate special drop offs, but ask that NO donations be left outside at any time.
TAPIN is located in the lower level of the Library building on County Rd in Barrington. For further information visit the website: tapinri.com.
