Additionally, the team is asking for pantry items (list below) which they will be putting into bags and delivering to homebound, isolated seniors who cannot get out to the stores. Here is the process:

If someone is interested in donating items, call the receptionist at 602-285-1800 to arrange a time. Donors will leave items outside a side door to Care by Design (no contact with staff required) at the 1201 E Thomas building. CBD staff will collect the items for the pantry. As bags are requested, CBD will arrange a delivery time with the senior in need. Items will be left on the senior’s doorstep (no ringing of the doorbell) and will call the senior to let them know the items are on the doorstep ready for pick-up.
