Annual Reverse Advent Calendar: BIN Bin Collection
December 1–24 | Control Alt Delete
Make the holidays brighter for Survivors of domestic violence by participating in Control Alt Delete’s Annual Reverse Advent Calendar BIN Bin Collection!
Instead of opening a gift each day, you get to give a little something that can make a big difference. This December, grab a laundry basket, storage bin, box, or any container and add one hygiene item or everyday essential each day. By Christmas Eve, you’ll have a basket full of practical necessities to help Survivors as they escape domestic violence and begin rebuilding their lives.
Many Survivors leave an abusive situation with little more than the clothes they are wearing. These everyday essentials help meet immediate needs and remind Survivors that their community cares.
How to Participate
- Grab a container! A laundry basket, plastic bin, box, or any container will work.
- Add one item each day from December 1–24. Follow our suggested calendar below or choose other new, essential hygiene and personal care items.
- Drop off your completed BIN Bin at Control Alt Delete on Christmas Eve—or anytime in our courtyard! You don’t have to wait until December 24 to deliver your donation. The address is: 3061 E Mallory St, Mesa AZ 85213
