Soroptimist International of Coronado is asking residents to donate hygiene items and gift cards to fill 200 gift bags for the holiday season.
The club's annual Bags of Generosity drive supports survivors of human trafficking and domestic violence, people experiencing homelessness and young adults who have aged out of foster care, according to the Coronado Times. Donations must arrive by Tuesday, Nov. 10. Club members will assemble the bags at their Wednesday, Nov. 11, meeting.
How to donate
Residents can purchase hygiene items through the club's Amazon registry. The quantities listed are suggestions, and donors can pick whichever items and amounts they choose. Amazon gift cards in any dollar amount are also accepted, giving club members flexibility to buy supplies as needed.
Items ordered through Amazon can be shipped to club member Aimée Richards at the first delivery address listed on the registry. Donations can also be dropped off at 805 Adella Avenue in Coronado.
Monetary donations are welcome by check, payable to Soroptimist International of Coronado, and mailed to PO Box 180345, Coronado, CA 92178-0345.
A Soroptimist spokesperson told the Coronado Times the drive is part of the club's mission to support women and girls in need.
