How to be Impactful
Simply ways to support the women and children in our shelter
Oftentimes, it’s just hard to know how to get started. Volunteering when you don’t have enough time. Giving money when you don’t have much to give. It can all seem like too much. But in reality, supporting Rose Brooks Center doesn’t have to involve lots of time or money. Even a small gesture or monetary donation can have a huge impact on the women and children we help.
Here are some creative ways you can support Rose Brooks Center and have a positive impact on families in your community:
Just Imagine: It’s 2AM, he’s asleep, and you and your boys are finally ready to escape. Maybe you throw some clothes in a bag. But do you take time to pack up your kid’s toys? Medicine? Toiletries? Probably not. Help us provide essential everyday items: aspirin, diapers, feminine hygiene products, toothpaste, contact solution, a hair brush. The simplest items can mean the difference between a shelter and a home.
Home for the Holidays: Remembering Rose Brooks Center during the Winter holidays is important, but don’t forget the rest of the calendar. When you find a great deal on 4th of July decorations, buy some extras and bring them to shelter. When you and your kids are making cookies for Valentine’s Day, decorate an extra dozen and share the season with our residents.
Be our Ambassador: You are our best fundraiser! People are much more willing to support a cause if they’re asked to do so by a friend. So, share the Rose Brooks Center story with everyone you know. Invite your friends for a tour or host an informational cocktail party. You never know who may be listening.
Go Green: One of the greatest (and most affordable) gifts you can give Rose Brooks Center is your email address. Help the environment and cut our costs with just a click of your mouse. Don’t forget to plug into our social media too – Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are excellent ways to spread our mission.
Small things mean a lot when you don’t have anything and are just trying to get back on your feet. Don’t ever underestimate the enormous impact your donation of time, talent or treasure can have on the women and children staying at Rose Brooks Center.
