PRESS RELEASE
City of Moscow Sponsoring Toiletry Drive for Local Food Bank

January 12, 2012 (Moscow, Idaho) – The City of Moscow is sponsoring a toiletry drive for the Moscow Food Bank through January 27.  Collection boxes are in place to accept donations in all City facilities for members of the community who are interested in taking part in the drive.

Most take for granted having essential toiletries and have never had to go without the comfort of bathrooms furnished with toilet paper, tissues, or soap.  There are people who go every day without essential items such as toothpaste, a toothbrush, or deodorant, essential toiletries many take for granted. Not having these simple yet essential items can lead to disease, decay, low self-esteem, and even depression. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs shows that physiological comfort, including personal hygiene, is part of the foundation for an individual’s growth and feeling of security. Making that first step possible for so many people can start with your help.

Items the Moscow Food Bank is in need of include:

Shampoo
Conditioner
Deodorant
Toothpaste
Toothbrushes
Dental Floss
Body Wash
Soap
Razors
Shaving Cream
Diapers
Feminine Products
Baby Wipes
Toilet Paper
Kleenex
Band-Aids


Donated items must be unopened and unused.  Travel sized toiletries like those provided in hotels are also accepted by the Moscow Food Bank.

For more information on the drive, please contact Jen Pfiffner, Assistant to the City Supervisor at 208.883.7123 or by email at jpfiffner at ci.moscow.id.us<mailto:jpfiffner at ci.moscow.id.us>.
