Personal Care Collection Feb 17 / April 20

SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits cannot be used to purchasepersonal care items. These items are a necessity, and can be an expense that many low-income
families cannot afford. NHCO collects these items and gives them to families and individuals whouse our food pantries.Suggested items include:
•Shampoo, soap and shower gel (unscented is best)
• Body lotion (unscented is best) and lip balm
• Feminine hygiene products
• Shaving cream and disposable razors
• Toothpaste, mouthwash and toothbrushes
• Washcloths and shower poufs
Personal care items and toiletries donations are accepted year round and are
especially needed in March and April.
Please be sure to fill out a donation slip when you drop off your items…not only does the slip
serve as a thank you and for your tax record, but it is extremely important for our record keeping!
