Needs Our Help!
There is a great need right now for specific
personal care and food items for clients who
are transitioning from charity housing or
shelters to a very small rental apartment. Due
to space limitations in the apartment, the
personal items should not be too large (like
Costco sizes) but not as small as a travel
size. Most of the clients are single.
Currently they are very low on the following
items:
PERSONAL CARE ITEMS FOR BOTH MEN
& WOMEN:
Deodorant for men &
women
Shaving cream men
& women
Regular size
Shampoo
FOOD ITEMS:
Peanut butter: smooth or chunky; Jelly
Pancake Mix and syrup
Call (907) 780-4090 ext. 29 for drop off
locations
