***SIGN UP FOR VIRTUAL (AMAZON) AND PHYSICAL DRIVES ON BOTTOM OF THE PAGE***
My name is Rohan Joshi. I am a senior at Robinson High School and have organized this project to support our community during this pandemic for my Eagle Scout Project. This nonprofit collection drive is for children's school supplies, art supplies, books, toys, and games; donations will go directly to families in the vicinity of Tampa General Hospital's Healthpark Clinic. Donations will be collected from donors' homes on the date that you choose on the bottom of the page (to learn more select "Learn More About the Drive"). Also, there is a virtual drive through Amazon with a link on bottom of the page. Please share this website link with friends and family in the Tampa Bay Area who may be interested in donating!
All personal information will be kept confidential (only for communication).
Event Information
The COVID-19 pandemic has created confusion, health concerns, and economic struggles throughout our community. Social distancing practices, the inability to attend work, and economic depression make it difficult for many parents to go shopping, attend work, or afford activities/supplies for their children. The virus has strongly impacted the families that attend the Tampa General Hospital Family Care Center Healthpark Clinic: Many children do not have access to school supplies, books, or toys to keep them entertained and prepared for the new school-year. If you wish to physically donate new or gently used supplies, select a collection date (bottom of the page), fill out the information form (all personal information will remain confidential), and stay at home (we will drive to your house and pick up the supplies; specific directions will be given before collection day through emailing or texts). If you wish to virtually donate new items, click "Sign Up" for the Online Event on the bottom of the page. All donated materials will be given directly to the families in need to support them through this pandemic. Social distancing and other CDC guidelines and precautions will be followed when the items are collected. This is a great opportunity to donate any art supplies, school supplies, books, games, or toys that you or your family no longer needs (see below for specifics on what you can and cannot donate). Please contact me with any questions at Rjoshi10@outlook.com. Thank you and stay safe!
