Food Pantry – “Year of Personal Hygiene Products”

Pastor recently read an article on Facebook (of all places) of the items that a lot of food pantries need but don’t often get.  These are items that we may take for granted.  These are things that everyone may need or use, but funds make it difficult to balance buying it all.  That inspired Pastor to initiate a “Year of Personal Hygiene Products” for our own food pantry.  Each month, we will have a focus of things that are often needed but not provided (or are expensive to buy).  There will be baskets by each entry should you want to donate to the item of the month.  Pastor has listed the year’s items below so that if there is a big sale, you can stock up.  As you will see, none of these things have an expiration date.
