From your heart to their tables.

Other drives to consider

Toiletries

Toiletry Drive

Every month Minnie’s delivers to the Dallas VA HUD, four senior living facilities, and day labor workers and the homeless. The long-term goal is toiletries alongside the food.

Birthdays

Birthday Bag Drive

We love celebrating birthdays with our clients. Many cannot buy a cake and candles for themselves or their children — that is where you come in.

Snack bags

Camille’s Kids / Veterans

Healthy snack bags for the children, veterans and homeless we serve: chips, drinks, granola bars, fruit snacks, crackers, canned meat with pop tops.
