Donate Goods to the HMI Pantry
The pantry at Hetrick-Martin Institute is open to all HMI members and provides everyday essentials like clothing, shoes, ready-to-go meals, and hygiene products. Most young people who come to HMI will access pantry services at some point during their membership, regardless of their initial reason for becoming a member. Pantry resources (clothes, hygiene products) and services (laundry, shower facilities) are offered everyday that HMI is open. When young people have access to resources that meet their needs, they are one step closer to reaching their full potential.
