HomeAid Inland Empire Announces "Essentials" Drive Collection Locations


RIVERSIDE, CA (May 3, 2012) --- HomeAid Inland Empire has established more than 25 collection box locations for its annual Essentials for Young Lives campaign, a community-wide effort to gather much-needed items for homeless families with infants and toddlers across San Bernardino and Riverside counties. The drive will take place May 4 - 11.

With families now the fastest growing segment of the homeless population, Essentials for Young Lives donations enable recipient HomeAid service provider partners in the Inland Empire to save their operational funds normally spent on essential baby items for use on programs to help their clients achieve self-sufficiency and to lead productive, independent lives.

"We are very appreciative of our business community and corporate partners throughout Riverside and San Bernardino counties who have agreed to participate in this year's Essentials drive by collecting baby items including disposable diapers, baby wipes, baby food and baby hygiene products, as well as other products like paper towels and toilet paper," said Ray Osborne, Executive Directors of HomeAid Inland Empire, when he announced the Essentials for Young Lives item collection locations.

Essentials for Young Lives collection boxes will be located in the 11 offices of Arrowhead Credit Union throughout the Inland Empire, in Chino, Crestline, Fontana, Highland, Rancho Cucamonga, Yucaipa, Redlands, Rialto, Riverside, and two locations in San Bernardino.
In addition, Essentials collection boxes be will be at the iMortgage offices in Corona and Rancho Cucamonga, as well as the Capital Pacific Homes sales office at Calder Ranch, the Lawyer's Title office in Riverside, the Freedom Fitness Studio in Murrieta, the Orange Coast Title Business Service/Commercial Division office in Ontario, the Children's Fund of San Bernardino County office in San Bernardino, and the Wescom Credit Union office in Redlands.
Essentials collection boxes will also be at the Crestwood Communities Bella Victoria sales office in Rancho Cucamonga, Buddy Schwimmer's Dance Center in Redlands, the Brandin' Iron Saloon & Dance Hall in San Bernardino, the ReMax All-Stars Real Estate office in Riverside, the Building Industry Association (BIA) chapter offices in Riverside and Rancho Cucamonga, and in three locations at the Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Rancho Cucamonga.

HomeAid Inland Empire is a non-profit organization that works with various service providers to renovate and build shelters to temporarily house homeless individuals and families in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
