About:
November is A MONTH of Simple Giving
Since 2009, Grassroot Givers has hosted an annual community service event, Simple Giving. Each year donors, volunteers, local nonprofits, and community groups collect donations and create practical items to fill a need in our community. Each year, over $30,000 worth of goods are shared with individuals and families right here in the Capital Region. Together, we are building a community where everyone has access to basic essentials that improve their quality of life.
Throughout the month of November, we will be helping collect items of need for the Grassroot Givers. Items can be delivered to the High School PE Offices or the Athletic Office.
- Measuring cups, measuring spoons, serving utensils, and pot holders (available at the dollar store)
