Supply Drive
In addition to mental health, basic hygiene is an essential part of a homeless veteran’s overall health. That’s why we’re asking for toiletry items like soap and shampoo for all veterans and feminine hygiene products for women veterans. Check out our Amazon Wish List to ship items directly to the Cohen Clinic. You may drop off items in donation trunks located at Easterseals (1420 Spring Street, Silver Spring, MD) in front of our clinic on the 3rd floor and the veterans employment suite on the 2nd floor as well as Platoon 22 (1750 Monocacy Blvd, Frederick, MD), Arundel Lodge (2600 Solomons Island Rd, Annapolis, MD) and Reveille Grounds (1401 Severn St, Ste 250, Baltimore, MD). Our team will disperse everything through the Easterseals Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program and partner organizations serving homeless veterans in our region.
