As the holiday season approaches, hearts are warmed by giving and receiving. You are invited to donate new and nearly new toiletries for a toiletry drive to support four worthy organizations in our region:

  • – youth outreach centre.
  • – emergency shelter for women and children.
  • – drop-in centre and soup kitchen.

Sample sizes, hotel sizes and full sizes are welcome as well as new or nearly new items. Some suggestions are shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, hand soap, body wash, cosmetics, toothbrushes, toothpaste, feminine hygiene products, and health and beauty products.
