Starting September 1st, the Men's Shelter in partnership with Crisis Assistance Ministry, A Child's Place, Union County Community Shelter, and the United Way of Central Carolinas will be sponsoring a month-long Toiletry Drive. We provide an enormous quantity of personal hygiene items to our clients for free and as responsible non-profits we try to keep our costs in purchasing these items to a bare minimum. You may not know this, but MSC gives out about 2,000 disposable razors each month and can go through more than 500 bars of hotel size soap each night!
You can help.
Throughout the month of September, donate soap, shampoo, disposable razors, and deodorant at any of our collection sites and we'll make sure it gets to those most in need. While individual or "hotel" sizes work best, we'll make sure all donated items are put to good use. A flyer providing more detailed information will be posted on our website or you can contact Megan or Linda in our Community Development Department (704.334.3187) for assistance.
Thanks in advance for helping our agencies meet the basic needs of homeless men, women, children, and families throughout our community.
