February Guest Needs
This month our most urgently needed items are small personal care products — things like travel size shampoo & conditioner, chapstick, and Q tips. The complete list of needs can be found below. We thank you in advance for helping us with these needs. Our guests are grateful for your kindness and generosity.
To limit the risk of exposure to our guests and staff we need to be more mindful of our in-person visitors. If you plan to drop off donation items in person, we ask that you please coordinate in advance with Patti. She can be reached by phone or email; 815-964-4105 ext. 216 PattiF@carpentersplace.org.
