Salvation Army asks for leftover vacation items

MADISON COUNTY – The Salvation Army asks families to share their collection of hotel soaps and shampoo from summer vacation and travel.

“We need your help with homeless hygiene,” community relations coordinator Pamela Donald said. “The Salvation Army Emergency Shelter distributes homeless hygiene kits daily and accepts donated hygiene products. Items in travel size are preferred.”

A hygiene kit needs the following items: shower shoes like flip-flops; travel-sized soap, deodorant, shampoo, shaving cream and toothpaste; and toothbrushes, disposable razors and socks.

Anyone can take donations to 305 Seminole Drive in Huntsville from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Individuals who donate supplies will receive a tax-deductible receipt.

Civic groups, businesses and churches can consider donating these supplies as a community service project.

For more information, call 256-536-5576, ext. 14.
