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
