Care-A-Van
Care-A-Van helps move donations, supplies, information, and community support where they are needed.
Through outreach, drop-offs, donation connection, and partner support, Care-A-Van helps Grassroots Westmoreland respond to practical needs across Westmoreland County.
Care-A-Van support depends on current requests, volunteer capacity, transportation availability, partner needs, and what items are available.
How Care-A-Van Helps
Donation Drop-Offs
Care-A-Van helps collect and move requested items, including clothing, essentials, and other community support supplies.
Care-A-Van helps Grassroots Westmoreland show up where people are, share information, and connect neighbors with support.
Community Outreach
Partner Connections
When another organization is better equipped to distribute certain items, Care-A-Van may help connect or move donations to partner organizations.
What Care-A-Van May Support
Care-A-Van support may vary depending on current requests, donation availability, transportation, storage space, partner needs, and volunteer capacity.
Care-A-Van may help with:
Donation drop-offs
Moving requested clothing and essentials
Connecting food donations to partner organizations or existing food resources
Community pop-ups or outreach tables
Sharing information about resources, forms, and next steps
Helping connect useful items to people, families, or organizations that can use them
Care-A-Van does not guarantee delivery, pickup, or direct support for every request, but it helps Grassroots Westmoreland respond more flexibly when capacity allows.
Before Bringing Donations
Please check the Current Needs page before bringing donations so we can prioritize what is most useful right now.
Items should be clean, usable, and appropriate for community distribution.
We do not accept furniture.
Before bringing large quantities, food donations, or items that require special handling, please contact us first so we can confirm current capacity, storage space, transportation, or partner connection options.
We may not be able to accept every item, but we will do our best to help useful donations move to the right place.
