Local Love’s Shelter Drive!

Hannah Mueller, Senior Editor

 

If you’re looking for a way to pay it forward and help the community, Local Love has the opportunity for you! Local Love, Tuscarora’s very own charity and volunteering group, is holding a drive for The Religious Coalition of Frederick. There are plenty of things you can donate to the cause, ranging from toiletries to snacks, and if you’re able, money donations as well. All items you’re willing to donate can be taken to room B201 to Mrs. Nickles, leader of Local Love, or to the front office. Even if you can only donate just a little bit, remember that every item helps and adds to the whole!

The organization is working with The Religious Coalition and all the supplies will be going towards the Alan P. Linton Jr. Emergency Shelter to help those in need. This drive will be a splendid way to really allow yourself to give back to the community and with it being the season of giving and being thankful, there couldn’t be a better time to donate what you’re able to in order to help Local Love’s cause.

If you can donate, these are the items needed for this drive;

  • Soups (instant/add hot water type)
  • Snacks (all kinds/individually wrapped)
  • Bottled Water
  • Hot Chocolate Packs (with marshmallows)
  • 8oz Styrofoam Cups
  • Plastic Forks and Spoons (no knives)
  • Toilet Paper
  • Paper Towels
  • Paper Napkins
  • Kleenex
  • Laundry Detergent
  • Foot Deodorizer Spray
  • Non-Alcoholic Mouthwash
  • Travel Size: Deodorants (Men’s and Women’s), Toothbrushes, Toothpaste, Hand Sanitizer, and Shampoos
  • Pillow Cases (standard size)
  • White Bath Towels and Washcloths (medium size)
  • Money

Again, everything that’s donated is highly appreciated and we thank you very much!
