Another worth-while activity is our community outreach efforts in the preparation and distribution of our toilette bags for the homeless residing in Atlantic City and Rio Grande, New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

We started out using quart-size zipped-locked plastic bags and inserted the following:

• Copy of the Holy Bible
• Wash Cloth
• Personal size facial and body soaps
• Personal size shampoo and conditioner
• Personal size toothpaste and toothbrush
• Personal size mouthwash
• Personal size deodorant

After feedback from our partners and individuals receiving our toilette bags, we are now using a gallon-size zipped-locked plastic bags inserting the fore-mentioned items along with:

• New underwear/shirts (both men and women)
• New socks — season appropriate
• Gloves, hats and scarfs
• Feminine products
• Personal size hair comb/brush set

If you want to donate any of the fore-mentioned items, please send an e-mail to inforequest@bccofnj.org and we will respond to you within 48 hours.
