Mending the Gap Drive
Starting this Sunday, August 1st, we will be once again be collecting donations of paper products and cleaning supplies for Mending the Gap. Mending the Gap Inc. provides seniors with one on one supportive services that will meet their basic needs, alleviate isolation while creating healthy and fulfilling relationships. Needed items are toilet paper, paper towels, dish and dishwasher soap, cleaning products, facial tissue, laundry detergent. We ask that laundry detergent and other bottled items be smaller, easier to manage sizes for seniors (no “economy” sizes).
