ABOUT THE PROJECT:

With the rising cost of inflation, many people are struggling to afford basic necessities such as household and hygiene items. Organizations have reached out to United Way Goldenhorseshoe asking for help with basic household supplies for the clients they support.

We are looking for volunteers to purchase a variety of household items and assemble kits for people in need. We need a variety of supplies.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.     Layout all the purchased supplies on a table making piles of each product
