Help Shepherd’s Table With Daily Essentials
Shepherd’s Table needs our help restocking daily essentials. We’re collecting travel-sized personal hygiene items as well as oft-requested clothing items. Help us help our neighbors!
The Shepherd’s Table Resource Center is asking for help restocking daily essentials. For hygiene items, travel sizes are preferred as Shepherd’s Table’s guests often only have a bag or two to carry their personal items in, and larger sizes tend to be heavier and take up valuable space. They will still accept some regular sizes for residents on the fourth floor and a small number of year-round shelter guests, but travel sizes are useful for the majority of people they serve.
Shepherd’s Table would appreciate donations of:
- Men’s S-2XL Underwear, sweatpants, white or black tees & tanks
- Gloves
- Belts
- Ponchos
- Andis Cool Care 5 in 1 Clipper Disinfectant
- Wet wipes/Body wipes
- Feminine Hygiene Wipes
- Soap
- Deodorant
- Vaseline
- Hair oil & cream (travel)
- Hairbrushes (not combs)
- Face towels/washcloths
- Lotion
- Body wash
- Toothpaste
- Razors & shaving cream
- Tissues/ Kleenex
- Shampoo
- Q-tips
- Laundry Detergent (travel or pods)
Drop-offs should be made at:

Arrive Apartment Fire – GoFundMe Launched
Our neighbors urgently need your help.
In the wake of the apartment fire at Arrive Silver Spring, more than a 100 families are displaced from their homes, and over 40 families will not be able to return.
Many Arrive residents lost everything and are currently being housed in hotels without access to cooking facilities. With no living stipend from renters insurance, they are having to buy all of their meals from restaurants, which can be a significant hardship, especially for those with larger families.
Funds raised here will help these neighbors buy meals and manage their increased cost of living while they are waiting to return home or be rehoused. Funds will be distributed in partnership with Montgomery County HHS.
Please give whatever you can – and if you’d like to donate a gift card to a local restaurant or grocery store instead of cash, reach out to us at info@silverspringcares.org. We’ll be happy to arrange a drop-off or pick-up.
