Assata’s Daughters – info for volunteering and in-kind donations: February 11, 2022
Assata’s Daughters, our February shared offering organization, organizes Black young people on Chicago’s South Side, addresses survival needs, helps them develop leadership skills, and provides a place of hope. Please contact Aisha at ourduty2@assatasdaughters.org if you can help with any of the following.
- Help in repairing our garden’s shed, fixing loose and fallen wooden planks and possibly adding a new lock or securing the present one. This is needed in the spring, but please contact Aisha well ahead of time to schedule.
- Donate heavy plastic containers and storage/tote boxes in various sizes. Assata’s Daughters needs them for storage of donated items, and they recycle plastic boxes.
- Connect Assata’s Daughters with organizations and businesses that redistribute resources through in-kind donations for 20-250 young people and families such as: laptops, technology, toys, baby diapers and products, quality foods, household and hygiene products, tickets to museums or events for youth field trips, CTA transit cards, and catering.
- Connect them with people, organizations, or businesses interested in offering free space and time at vacation homes, office/venue space, or leisure activities for space to create joy, healing, restoration space, and for strategic planning.
Assata’s Daughters is located in the Washington Park neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. Many of these volunteer options can be performed remotely. Please contact Aisha at ourduty2@assatasdaughters.org for the exact location for the repair project and to coordinate in-kind donations
