Need Help..... Please!!!

We are in desperate need of donations!!!  Our supplies are basically gone after being at the Senior Center today.  There were more families than we've ever helped.  Here's what we need if you can help:

$$$ donations (we coupon and get great deals)
people willing to donate coupons or print for us

Items:
Baby needs:  diapers - all sizes, baby wipes, formula, baby foods, etc.
Paper products:  toilet paper (4 packs are great but we'll divide up larger quantities), paper towels, plastic wrap, foil, zip style bags (all sizes), Kleenex, cleaning wipes, etc.
feminine products - all types not brand specific
cleaning supplies:  dish soap, dishwasher soap, cleanser, all purpose cleaners
Laundry supplies:  detergent, bleach, fabric softeners (both kinds)
Personal hygiene:  deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, razors, toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouth rinses (only if a great price), denture cream/cleaners, body washes (we have a good supply of bar soaps), lotions (only if a great price), liquid soap, etc.

We are also going to be giving out school supplies on Wednesday, Aug 13th.  Parents should bring their children along with their supply lists to the Senior Center starting at 10am.  The reason we suggest bringing children is because they like to shop too!!   The supply list is required. 

I'll try and post the great deals on school supplies on Mondays.  Right now great deals are at Office Max, Walgreens, ShopKo and Target.  I have an earlier post indicating basically what the children  will need. 

Thanks in advance for all your help!!!

Drop Off Locations

We are so grateful to the Central Fire Department in Rigby for being a drop off location for donations!  Also, you can email us at jeffersoncountypayitforward@gmail.com and we'll be happy to pick up donations from you!  We're hoping for other donation drop off locations in the future.

The Bread Guy

This is a fantastic deal!!  I visited the "bread guy" on Tuesday and got 6 pkgs of flat bread, 10 bagels, 12 loaves of bread (variety of flavors), 2 hot dog buns all for $12!!  The price is $4 a flat or .50 each.  All bread is dated at least 7 days out and is overstock.  The "bread guy" is contracted to buy what the stores don't.  This isn't day old product.  The product is Great Grains and is my favorite!!  His name is Levi Burbank, 226 N 4500 E, 208-949-9939.  You can call or text.  If he can't sell it it goes to the pig farmers and he makes nothing.  He's doing his best to support his family.  Let's support him!!

School Supply Donations

We are now accepting school supply donations.  We'll deliver to the senior center in August.  You can go to the district website www.sd251.org click schools and then under each school their supply lists are posted.  I know, one page dedicated to supply lists would have been much easier!!!

Right now Target, Shopko, Staples, and Office Depot/Max are having some fabulous sales!  We'll update the blog with great deals as soon as we find out about them.

UPDATE!!!  Starting Sunday July 20th WalGreens will have backpacks for 2.99!!!

The people in our community really appreciate all the help they can get!!!
