The Social Action and Outreach Committee is collecting personal care items for various community houses in Ottawa South. We are accepting drop-off donations throughout the month – just pop them in the plastic bin at the top of the stairs by Beecroft Hall. In addition we will be holding an in-person collection on Monday, August 26 from 1-3pm.
Banff Avenue Community House needs include the following: liquid hand soap and body wash; deodorant and toothbrushes for teens, women and men; dental floss; baby/kids shampoo; laundry soap (large boxes can be divided); dish soap; scouring sponges; and all purpose cleaner. School supplies needed include: geometry sets; scientific calculators; binders and dividers; graph paper; pens, pencils, pencil sharpeners and erasers; glue sticks; planners/agendas; and fine tip markers.
Each month we will be supporting a different community house as follows:
- August: Banff Avenue Community House
- July: Blair Court Community House
- June: Russell Heights Community House
- May: Confederation Court Community House
