Toiletry Drive

Collecting Toiletries for Youth in Foster Care

Many times kids enter the foster care system with just the clothes on their backs. Some move between foster homes with the belongings that they do have packed in a trash bag. There are many helpful organizations that have begun collecting suit cases, bags, and toiletries for these kids.

From January-March 2016 we are holding a toiletry drive event where we are collecting donations of toiletries, duffle bags and new pillowcases for older youth entering and moving within the foster care system in Passaic County. 

There are three ways to get involved: 

A. Commit to collect/donate duffle bags (new or gently used).

Fill out our Toiletry Donor Form to the right to get started. 

B. Commit to collecting/donating (new) toiletry items.
