Piles of toothpaste, toothbrushes, bar soap and shampoo filled more than 6 tables in Slattery Hall on May 21st as volunteers sorted and packed up over 20 boxes of toiletries to distribute to local service agencies – Dimitri House, Sojourner House, Bethany House, St. Joseph’s House of Hospitality, Willow Domestic Violence Center, House of Mercy and Mary’s Place.
Thanks to all who donated these everyday supplies that we may take for granted but are sometimes beyond the reach of others in the community. In the words of the Executive Director of one of the agencies, “Your support plays an essential role in helping our residents transition successfully to permanent housing. … Thank you again for your compassionate generosity.”
