Feb. 7 deadline to donate toiletries
Women and children who are in shelters remaking their lives after experiencing domestic violence need toiletries like shampoo, soap, toothpaste, hand and body lotions, and more. If you have unopened toiletries from hotels or stores that you can’t use, please bring them to the Council on Aging at Bemis Hall by Friday, February 7. A volunteer will take them to local domestic violence organizations for Valentine’s Day distribution. Your donation will make a difference in the lives of these women and children in need.
