Donation Drives

Hosting a donation drive – for your birthday, anniversary, workplace team-building event, or just for fun – will make a remarkable difference in the lives of many. It’s simple! We’ll provide an online wish list of items needed and all you need to do is create a fundraising goal and spread the word to your friends and/or colleagues! The items will be shipped directly to JVS, where they will be used to resettle a family or individual. To host a donation drive contact development@jvskc.org.
