Everyone can play a role in the vision of The Dignity Project. We are always accepting donations, as there are always people in need. Donations may come in many different shapes and sizes. To reach any of the departments below, please call (352) 371-6792.
Automotive
A working or non-functioning vehicle will help our Auto Academy provide one more family with independent transportation. The only requirement is that you bring us the car's title.
Please contact our Automotive Supervisor, Kim Lapan by phone
or e-mail Therese McSwain, Client Services Coordinator: thedignityproject@gmail.com
Computers
A working or non-functioning computer will help the Computer Restoration Program help one more family attain educational and career goals.
