We need Help for Neighbors Sundays Mission Table

At our last  Neighbors Helping Neighbors Missions Table, we assembled 200 basic first aid kits to give to the families using the day care at our sister church Evaton Noord.  During Neighbors Helping Neighbors Sunday on March 22 we will be assembling toiletry packs for the Union Gospel Womens and Childrens Shelter.  They were absolutely thrilled that we are doing this.  They remarked that it is very discouraging to turn people away and to have something give would be such a blessing.  The goal is 100 womens toiletry packs.  So far we have 75 toothbrushes and floss donated by Dr. Santorsola, a local dentist. 

Do you know of or have the resources  for quantities of new personal items:  fingernail polish, emory boards, deodorant, soap lotion, combs, earrings, toothpaste, compact sewing kits, bandaids...what ever else you can think of that is about the size of your fist;  these items will be packed in a 1 gallon ziplock bag.  Many thanks for your suggestions, please contact Sarah Zerkel.
