Almost Happy New Year!!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We want to thank all of you who donated items to Pay it Forward this past year. You have made a difference in the lives of so many. We look forward to helping more over the course of this next year and will definitely need your help!!
Now is a great time to take advantage of christmas clearance sales on things such as mens/womens gift sets, hats, gloves, scarves, inexpensive children's toys, socks, blankets/throws, etc. There are great sales already starting and they'll get better! These are just some of the items we'll be stockpiling for next year.
Our stocks are pretty low right now on the basic items we hand out at the Rigby Senior Center. We'll probably wait until closer to the end of the month to go giving us as much time as possible to rebuild our stock. We continue to need these items:
TP
paper towels
basic cleaning supplies
dish soap
plastic wrap/foil/zip style bags
diapers
wipes
women's feminine products (particularly pads)
razors
body wash
shampoo/conditioner
toothpaste/brushes
denture cream/cleaner
lotions
kleenex
laundry soaps
bleach
fabric softeners
We also have families with cats and dogs.
In looking to the future, we'll put together easter baskets for families with young children in the Spring so items such as candy, small toys, color books, etc would be very much appreciated.
Also, any winter wear that still has some good wear in it we'll collect anytime to hand out in the fall. Also, we'll hand out school supplies in August. We'll post specifics the closer it gets but this is just to give everyone something to think about.
Our drop off locations are the Rigby Library and Central Fire Department. As always, you can leave a post here and we'll pick up your items.
As always, we appreciate any and all you have to give. We are truly blessed to be able to help in our community and hope to be able to for years to come.
