Ivey Essentials Pantry

“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (Matt. 25:40)

What is an Essentials Pantry?

Many people in our community who in need of food assistance also have a need for basic toiletry items.  Non-food items cannot be purchased with food stamps, so toiletries and household cleaning supplies are items they often cannot afford to buy.

What are some examples?

  • Toothbrush / Toothpaste
  • Deodorant
  • Shampoo
  • Razors (disposable)
  • Feminine hygiene items
  • Dish soap
  • Toilet bowl cleaner
  • Laundry detergent
  • Bar Soap
  • Shower Gel
  • Conditioner
  • Shaving Cream
  • Toilet Paper
  • Diapers
  • Baby Wipes
  • Hand / Body Lotion
  • Wash Clothes
  • Towels
