Volunteer: Sunscreen Collection Drive

Summer is right around the corner and May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, highlighting that skin cancer is the most common, yet highly preventable and treatable, form of cancer. One in five Americans develops skin cancer by age 70. 

In June of each year, Arlington Free Clinic hosts a skin cancer screening clinic for our patients and neighbors. A large portion of our patient population works in jobs that are primarily outside - putting them at significantly higher risk of skin cancer. In an effort to promote sun safety, we would like to give out sunscreen to the participants of this year's screening clinic.

Volunteers are welcome to create an collection drive on our behalf or just contribute an in-kind donation of products. This is a great project for families and high school students looking for community service hours! 

Resources: 
We have an amazon wish list for examples of the products we are looking for, however, items of any brand may be purchased anywhere. 

Take a look at our Item Drive How To document for tips and tricks on creating a successful item drive.

Drop Off Information:
Ideally, all donations will arrive by Wednesday, June 3rd. However, donations received after that date will still go to patients in need. 

Donations can be dropped of at Arlington Free Clinic any time during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm) or sent directly to the clinic via snail mail. If you opt to ship items directly to the clinic, please add your name and contact information so we can properly thank you for your support!
