Each box should be shoebox sized and decoratively wrapped so the lid may be lifted to open easily.
Items to fill the box may include: Gloves, scarf, socks, notebook/journal with pen/pencil, face wipes, face mask, makeup (such as mascara, lip balm so that skin color is not a consideration), lotion (face, hand or body), full size shampoo, conditioner (preferably 2 in 1), deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, hand wipes, hairbrush, protein bars, pocket poncho, a little treat of chocolate or something sweet.
Items to avoid: Sample items, used items, expired items, tampons, pads, perfume, razors, children's products, Advil and other OTC meds, any meds, bubble bath, candles, jumbo size anything, clothing, tobacco products.
We would also like to include a grocery or dollar store gift card of $10 value.
We encourage donors to work as a team to complete each box. However, if you wish to complete a box on your own, we thank you and welcome your generosity.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and support of this YWCA project. For additional information, call the YWCA at 724-834-9390.
