Today, University of Cincinnati faculty and staff lent their time, energy and good humor for a day of service at Caracole as part of UC Serves. These amazing volunteers tackled the task of clearing out and organizing our storage areas so we have more room for our #HIVprevention supplies. We were honored that UC President Neville Pinto joined us to celebrate the dedication of our UC volunteers firsthand. These efforts exemplify UC's commitment to community engagement. Thank you to all the volunteers who participated in UC Serves, making a tangible difference in our community. Your hard work is deeply appreciated! #UCServes #community #volunteers #giveback

We’ve got great neighbors! A HUGE thank you to Kao USA Inc (with offices just down the street from our Northside location) for their GENEROUS donation of personal care items for our pantry. For clients who don't have the resources to purchase such products with their limited budgets, our pantry can be an important resource for hygiene products to help maintain their overall health. But keeping our pantry stocked these days has been increasingly difficult. We rely on kind donations, like the boxes of soap, detergent and lotion that we just received from our friends and neighbors at Kao USA Inc, to assist clients in need. Thanks for being great partners, Kao Corporation! #ourfriendsareyourfriends #thankyou #grateful

Help us avoid a dry spell in our client pantry in 2024! We’ve been seeking companies, houses of worship, book clubs, etc. to join in our “12 Months of Caracole” donation drives to keep our client pantry stocked. Having access to proper hygiene and cleaning products is essential to maintaining health, but these items cannot be purchased with EBT cards/SNAP Benefits. With the majority of our clients living with less than $15K a year, we collect donations of the items to distribute to our clients in need. Participating is easy: 1) Pick an available month in 2024 to hold a donation drive. Visit caracole.org/collect to see what months are free! 2) Contact David White at dwhite@caracole.org or call (513) 619-1483 to confirm your organization’s participation. 3) Find out what items are most needed by visiting caracole.org/collect 4) Ask members of your organization to donate personal care and hygiene items during your designated month. 5) Get props from Caracole on social media for contributing! 6) Drop off your donations at our office in Northside, or make pick-up arrangements with us by calling David at (513) 619-1483. At Caracole, we are committed to preserving dignity for everyone we serve. As simple as it may sound, your donation of these items is an important contribution in making this happen. #DonationDrive #nonprofit #giveback #dogood #makeadifference
