Have you taken a trip lately? Do you have a stash of mini toothpaste or soaps that you never use? We'll take them! While we always 😍 getting full-size donations to our essentials pantry, we'll gladly accept any new, unopened soap, toothpaste, shave cream, or deodorant. Our FANTASTIC volunteers will pack it into the right size for distribution.

We were overwhelmed by the response in February when we asked for donations of clean blankets for our refugee resettlement program. We've had several large families come in since then, and our shelves are bare. If you have spare blankets -- especially twin size -- we hope you'll consider donating them. Clean/recently laundered means we don't have to spend money prepping them for distribution. 🥰Thank you!
