What is a Community Fundraiser?
One of the best ways you can support DVSSP is through a community fundraiser (hosting a drive or event on DVSSP's behalf).
A community fundraiser is led by volunteers, rather than DVSSP staff. DVSSP will provide limited support and the planning, execution, and responsibility for the event is taken on by the volunteers planning it.
Whether you’re collecting cash, gift cards, or donating new items for survivors, a drive or fundraising event is a great way to show your support for those served by DVSSP.
