DIY Volunteer Project for PRSA Richmond Chapter Members
PRSA Richmond members are invited to join in for a chapter public service opportunity: DIY Nourishment Kits for the Richmond Behavioral Health Authority (RBHA). RBHA serves nearly 13,000 individuals – children and adults – every year. The individuals served often do not have resources to purchase needed items.
The Nourishment Kits will be distributed across the agency to individuals receiving services – children who may need a snack, adults who may need food to take with medication, individuals experiencing homelessness, or individuals who may have no food that day.
To participate, gather the following supplies:
- 10 one-gallon Ziplock bags
- 10 Notecards – handmade
- Applesauce – single serving container or pouch
- Pretzels – single serving bag
- Cheese crackers – single package
- Soft granola bar
- Canned tuna or chicken (pouches are great, too)
DIY volunteers are asked to donate a minimum of 10 Nourishment Kits.
- Place one of each item in each of the 10 Ziplock bags.
- Write an encouraging message on each notecard to include in the bags.
- Take pictures of you and those helping to assemble in action! Send photos to Cherika at Cherika.Ruffin@ridefinders.com.
You can drop- off your Nourishment kits on May 4 or May 8 between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. to:
