Part of our local community support will be a dual food and household supplies drive. Food items will go directly to Casa Chirilagua, a local charity serving Arlandria. Non-food supplies will be donated to the neighborhood pantry at Grace Episcopal Church, which also serves this neighborhood.
We asked Casa Chirilagua’s executive director if we could help:
Yes! Food donations are very much needed for this community. 100% of the families that we work with have lost work due to COVID-19 and the community is testing 57% positive for the virus. Our staff has set up a delivery system so that infected individuals don't have to leave their homes in search of food for themselves or their families.
Please pack the food and supplies donations in separate bags.
