I am hopeful those who read this blog and our blog are taking a little time to put aside some of the items we are collecting. If you are a traveler and collect shampoo, conditioner, lotions and soap, please consider donating them to our project. The full list of items we are trying to collect are listed below.
At the end of July, we will post collection sites for drop off and phone numbers that can be called for pickups. If you have questions about any of the items or the project, please email us at thebe4goodproject@gmail.com. If anyone is interested in donating monies to help pay for the rental truck and accommodations while we are there, please email us a.s.a.p. (Although we are not a non-profit group, I am able to get tax deductible receipts for all donations if you provide me with a list and your name and address.)
