FOR STUDENTS
There are many opportunities to make a difference in your community.  New Ground works with local schools and student groups to coordinate drives to benefit those we serve and offer volunteer opportunities.

ORGANIZE A DRIVE
First decide on what you will be collecting: food, hygiene items, household cleaning supplies or other everyday items.  Then coordinate with your classmates, coworkers, neighbors and family to collect the items that will go directly to New Ground children, parents and veterans.
