2024-2025 Theme: Be the Change
Our Selected Project For Fall 2024
Buckeye Resource Center
The Service Committee invites you to join in a collection of personal care items for the Hygiene Product Pantry at the Buckeye Resource Center. The Buckeye Resource Center will be a one stop shop that supports students in meeting their needs through access to clothing, food, hygiene products and support services provided by campus and community partners. The University Women’s Club has been a generous benefactor of both the Buckeye Food Alliance and the Career Closet portions of this center in the past. This year we have chosen to support the Hygiene Product Pantry.
The collection will occur on MONDAY November 4, 2024 at the Lunch and Learn event at the Longaberger Alumni House. You don’t have to attend the luncheon in order to participate, just drive into the parking lot and a Service Committee member will take your contribution right from your car. Money donations are also welcome; make those through the website or via check (made out to UWC with a “service” note in the memo line) or you can bring cash to the luncheon.
Needed items include:
- Bathing items such as shampoo, soap, and body wash
- Feminine hygiene products such as menstrual pads, tampons, and body deodorant
- Grooming products such as shaver, shaving cream, deodorant, toothpaste, mouthwash and lotions.
Contact Bridget McDaniel or Sally Morgan with any questions. Thanks in advance for your participation!
