Since its inception, the Samaritan Center has provided participants with personal hygiene products every other month. Participants receive a package of basic hygiene products- laundry detergent, dish soap, shampoo, toilet tissue and one additional item from the supply stock.
The personal hygiene products program is one of the cornerstones of the Samaritan Center, with nearly 45% of the households accessing this service up to six times a year. But demand is greater than ever. 623 households or 1,474 individuals were served in 2008.
This program is supported by the Community of Faith, private individuals, and a very small budget from Catholic Charities. We serve all people, regardless of income, with necessary items that are not covered by Food Stamps. We also serve the Caroline and Danby Community.
To donate hygiene products, please call 272-5062 ext 27. Donations are always welcome and are greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions about this service, contact our Samaritan Center Coordinator.
