(KNSI) – Catholic Charities of the Diocese of St. Cloud is asking the public to help stock its shelves with something besides food.
The organization is holding a personal care drive called Care Beyond Food, collecting hygiene products for people who rely on its Food Shelf and Mobile Food Shelf in St. Cloud.
Organizers say everyday basics can quickly become hard to afford when a family is struggling. Those items are also out of reach for many food shelf clients because SNAP benefits, formerly known as food stamps, can only be used to buy food. Soap, toiletries, diapers and other household goods aren’t covered.
Catholic Charities says its most-needed items include toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss and mouth rinse, shampoo and conditioner, body wash and bar soap, and deodorant. Hand and body lotion, feminine hygiene products, razors and shaving cream, baby wipes and adult incontinence products are also on the list.
Donations can be dropped off at the Catholic Charities Food Shelf at 157 Roosevelt Road, Suite 100, in St. Cloud. Donors should use Door D.
Drop-off hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and Wednesday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
