\;Family with Kids \;This year\, in the season of love and care we are excited to bring you to the Amherst Survival Center for a truly magical After 5. This is NOT your typical After 5 Networking Event. This After 5 timing will be a bit shorter 5:00 - 6:30 PM so folks can get home or out into town with loved ones. Join us for an evening of care!
\n
\nIn lieu of fees for this event\, please consider bringing a Valentine'\;s Day gift to someone special. Giving recommendations and suggestions are listed below along with a direct link to purchase to make things SUPER easy! Donations will enter you into a Door Prize Raffle to win some incredible local gifts.
\;Family with Kids \;
Did you know that you \;aren&rsquo\;t \;allowed to use SNAP (food stamps) to buy \;diapers? \;A \;child without \;diapers \;is not allowed to go to daycare\, causing parents \;to miss school or work. Diapers are one the Center'\;s most highly requested items along with individually wrapped kids'\; snacks and kids-themed personal hygiene items!
\n\nSuggested Items:
\n\n- Diapers (especially size 5 &\; 6)
\n\n- Kids snacks (individually wrapped)
\n\n- Kids toothpaste/toothbrushes
\n\n- Kids shampoo and conditioner

\n\n \;Senior Citizen \;
Did you know that you \;aren&rsquo\;t \;allowed to use SNAP (food stamps) to buy \;incontinence products? \;A senior who cannot afford incontinence products may shut themselves in at home or suffer humiliation. Adult diapers are among the Center'\;s most needed personal care resources\, and our senior community members also request a broad array of hygiene items and non-perishable soft foods like soups!
\n\nSuggested items: \;
\n\n- Adult diapers (esp size LG or XL)
\n- Hygiene items

\n\n \;Pet Owner \;
Pets are family. \;When times are hard\, their \;companionship \;goes beyond words. \;When budgets are tight\, some even put their \;pets&rsquo\; \;needs ahead of their own. \;Having free \;pet \;food \;at the Center means that our furry friends are cared for \;and \;that the people-food from the \;Pantry \;goes to their humans. \; \;
\n\nSuggested items:
\n\n\n\n- Dry food
\n\n\n
\nAmherst Survival Center After 5 will include food &\; beverage tastings and facility tours will happen at 5:45 and 6:15!
\nWith Presenting Sponsor\, The Mill District
