Personal Care Items (Toiletries)

The INN provides essential personal care items to guests to take with them, as well as an option to shower on-site at our facility. To provide this service, we need both full-sized and travel-sized toiletries like, soap, shampoo and deodorant.

BABY ITEMS

Diapers are an expensive and essential item for families. Little guests make up about 30% of The INN’s guest population. Diapers are needed to distribute weekly, especially in sizes 4 and up. Wipes, pull-ups, baby food and formula are also needed.

By holding a clothing drive, for in-season items, you are providing guests with appropriate clothing for interviews, special occasions, as well as children’s clothing for the school year. Donate brand new or gently used clothing in all sizes for all ages.
