Delivery Options

*If your kit has a prepaid return label, apply that label to the outside of the box and send it back to Project Helping for distribution. 

Distribution options if your kit does not have a prepaid return label. 

1. Put the completed kit in your car, or take it with you when you go out. When you see someone in need, give them your care package.
 
OR
 
2. Bring your completed kit to any local homeless shelter.
