In honor of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his remarkable contribution to civil rights, OHAAT invites you to give back to your community through supporting the Beds for Kids program.

While we can't be together this year, we invite you to participate in any of the following home-based projects:

1) Help launder a bag or two of donated stuffed animals or bedding!
--Stop by our warehouse in Huntingdon Valley on MLK Day from 9am-3pm, wash
items at home, and schedule a time to bring freshly washed items back.

2) Make a cozy no-sew fleece blanket!
--Cut strips around edges of two, 3 yd, fleece layers and tie the sides together. Drop off at warehouse on MLK Day or schedule a time by emailing volunteer@ohaat.org.

3) Build a bedtime bag at home!
--twin sheet set | new pillow | blanket | stuffed animal | books | tooth brush

4) Hold a donation drive this month!
--You can collect new or gently used items from friends, family, and neighbors. Items needed include: twin bed sheets, new twin sized pillows, blankets, children's books for ages 2- 20, stuffed animals, and new toothbrushes in toddler to adult sizes. Schedule a time to deliver your donations to the warehouse in Huntingdon Valley.
