Essential Needs

Building a community where everyone helps and no one goes without.

Our Mission

At Essential Needs Quincy, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to focus on fulfilling their higher needs. We’re dedicated to collecting and distributing essential items to individuals and families in our community, ensuring they have the basic necessities to thrive.

Our Kits

We’re currently focusing on two essential kits:

Cleaning Kits: Equipping households with kitchen and bathroom cleaning supplies, towels, and window cleaner, all neatly packaged in a new, clean bucket or dish pan.

Minute for Mom Kits: Offering a moment of self-care with extras like facial cleanser, lip gloss, fingernail polish, and skin creams.

We rely on the generosity of our community to make this project possible. You can contribute by donating a kit item or assembling a complete kit. Please click the buttons above for a list of complete kit needs.
