HYANNIS – An organization that works to prevent and reduce homeless on Cape Cod is collecting donations of small holiday gifts for the less fortunate.
Duffy Health Center is accepting donations of items like toiletries, purses and wallets, shirts and slippers, along with gift cards to discount clothing stores, dollar stores or movie theaters.
Donations can be made by December 13 to Duffy Health Center on Main Street in Hyannis.
Last year, Duffy served 3,282 homeless or at risk individuals.
Many of Duffy’s clients do not have family to spend the holidays with and a past client told a case manager, “If it wasn’t for this gift, I would not have received anything at all this year.”
