We are continuing with our annual collection of food, clothing, and household items to assist needy families and individuals. Donations can include toiletry items such as toothpaste, lotion, soap, shampoo and conditioner, toilet paper, feminine supplies, baby powder and diapers, and donations of canned goods and other non-perishable food items in cardboard and plastic containers are also welcome.
