Donate Your Soap and Shampoo

Can you believe December is almost half over and we are on our fourth day of Thoughtful December?

Today's charity doesn't really have to do with the holidays.  Providing toiletries is a year round job and there are many people who don't have basic items like soap and toothpaste.

To give you an idea of needed items, here is a list of commonly needed items, that I found online:
  • soap
  • toothpaste
  • toothbrushes
  • deodorant
  • razors
  • mouthwash
  • Q-tips
  • hand sanitizer
These items can be donated to food pantries, shelters, etc.  

Also, Clean the World accepts unopened and unused bars of soap and shampoo for distribution domestically and internationally to those in danger of hygiene-related illnesses. The Global Soap Project also collects and reprocesses soaps into new bars.

These are great ways to clean out all the hotel soap bars and shampoos you have been collecting for years!
