[Vision2020] PR - City Sponsors Toiletry Drive

[Donovan Arnold]

Really? They couldn't come up with a name that doesn't have the word "toilet" in it?
 
Personally, I would have went with something like "Hygiene & Health Products Drive" or considered, "Personal Essential Items for the Needy Benefit", but maybe that is just me not liking the words toilet, drive and Moscow together.

PRESS RELEASE

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.

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.
