2018 toiletry drive
As the holiday season approaches, our hearts are warmed by giving and receiving. You are invited to donate new and nearly new toiletries to support three worthy organizations in Durham Region:
- , a shelter for homeless youth.
- , a youth outreach centre.
- , an emergency shelter for women and children.
We realize you are asked to give in many ways during the holiday season. For this collection, you can donate sample, hotel and full-sized bottles or containers. The items can be new or nearly new (i.e. you tried the product and didn’t like it but it’s still full). Suggested items:
- body wash
- conditioner
- cosmetics
- hand soap
- health and beauty products
- shampoo
- toilet paper
- toothbrushes
- toothpaste
New or nearly-new towels and pyjamas (especially for men) are also welcome.
