Suggested Donations:
toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap,
shampoo, diapers, razors,
deodorant, laundry detergent,
cleaning and personal hygiene supplies
Why A Personal Care Drive ?
Imagine being hungry, but also unable to purchase soap,
shampoo, deodorant – even diapers for your baby.
Food Pantries, Soup Kitchens and Emergency Shelters struggle
during difficult economic times to provide basic, necessary
nutrition to children, seniors and working families.
Personal care, cleaning and hygiene items are taxable
and cannot be purchased with food stamps.
How Can I Help?
– Adopt a Pantry, Kitchen or Shelter
– Ask your organization, school, friends,
employees or house of worship to help
– Announce the drive at your meeting or
in your newsletter
– Put out a posted collection box in a
high-traffic area
– Be the first to make a “Donation of
Dignity”
– Call one of the area coordinators in this
brochure for ideas and suggestions
– Invite a Donations of Dignity volunteer
to speak at your next meeting!

“Basic needs extend beyond food, shelter, and
clothing. We all want to feel good about ourselves;
approach each day with the sense of renewal
that personal care items bring.
The Donations of Dignity Drive affords that
opportunity to so many people in Ulster County.”
