Many low-income residents contact the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for help or its staff works with individuals and families who are in need of basic necessities. The HHS Donation Hub strives to meet these needs in emergency situations by accepting donations and holding seasonal drives throughout the year. Basic needs such as emergency food, clothing, toiletries, cleaning supplies, diapers, feminine hygiene supplies, books, and coats/clothing are on hand at all times.
Its seasonal drives include Spring Clean, Summer Food, Back to School, and its current Winter Drives. The HHS is always in need of, and will gratefully accept throughout the year, gift cards to any store or other basic needs items through its Amazon Wishlist.
How can you help?
- Purchase from the Amazon Wishlist: Basic Needs. The items you donate will be mailed directly to the Montgomery County Department HHS. Seasonal or Winter Drives may have their own Wishlist – see below for details on specific drives.
- Drop off items to the Human Services Center in Norristown; there are donation boxes inside the main entrance.
- Donate a gift card! That card that’s been sitting in your drawer can make a difference in someone’s life.
- Become a Partner – if your family, your workplace, youth or civic group wants to help, we would be grateful for your support.
