We have been invited to collect personal hygiene items for children and youth who enter the Child Protective Services and Foster Care systems in Brown County this month.
Friends of Pals, Youth and Families indicates that over 300 children and youth in Brown County are in out-of-home care currently, and they often arrive in these settings with little or no personal hygiene items.
Suggestions include full-size child/youth-friendly soap, shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, deodorant, diapers, feminine hygiene products, combs & brushes, facial tissue, lotion, nail kits, Q-Tips, Vaseline, bubble bath, basic first aid supplies, hair ties/barrettes, etc.
Could you pick up a few items from this list to help vulnerable kids in our area?
A box will be available at the back of the Sanctuary for the month of June or you may leave items in the church office during the week.
Thank you for your generosity!
