Sponsored by the TBH Homelessness Task Force

Imagine you left Mitzrayim (Egypt) and have been trudging through the desert for 33 days. You come upon an oasis but do not have soap or toothpaste because you left in such a hurry. Or imagine you have been observing the Omer by not cutting your hair and you're ready for a nice shower and haircut.

With this in mind let us help those who do not have enough resources after buying food to purchase personal hygiene products. The Other Bank which is a program of the Thurston County Food Bank will be the recipient of our Lag B’Omer personal hygiene product drive.

If you have a donation and are unable to make the above drop off times, contact Kayla to drop off at TBH.

Remember the focus of the Lag B’Omer drive is personal hygiene products. Things like body wash, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, hand soap, toothbrushes, hair combs and brushes. Travel size products are especially appreciated. Please make sure containers are not leaking.

If you want to donate a case of product, bring that directly to one of the Thurston County Food Bank Drop off sites. A case will be too large and heavy for our volunteers to transport.

The needs of our homeless neighbors are many. If you want more information about what is being done in our local area to support the unhoused and unsheltered check out these organizations. You can donate money, supplies, or time directly.
