Spread the Love: Donation Drive Benefiting One80 Place

For the month of February, the Mount Pleasant Regional Library will be conducting a donation drive benefiting One80 Place, a local nonprofit whose mission it is to prevent and end homelessness.

We will be collecting items for the four types of Move-In Kits: the Cleaning Kit, the Furniture Kit, the Kitchen Kit, and the Linen Kit (see list of items below).  Each of these kits contain basic home items and helps a community member transition more easily from living in the street/shelter to a new home.

All items donated must be brand new. Please turn in items to the reference desk at Mount Pleasant Regional Library located at 1133 Mathis Ferry Rd., Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464.  

If you have any questions about what is still needed, please call (843) 849-6161 and press 2 for reference.
