For the second straight year, the City of Greensboro’s Human Rights Department and Culture Crew Employee Resource Group are sponsoring an essential toiletries drive for the benefit of local refugees. The drive runs through the month of May.
The following items are needed: baby powder and wipes, bar soap, conditioner, diapers and diaper cream, dish soap and sponges, feminine hygiene products, hand sanitizer, powdered laundry soap, petroleum jelly, shampoo, skin lotion, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. The drive organizers request non-bulk-size items for easier delivery and transit of the items.
Individuals may contribute to the drive through this Amazon wishlist. Donations may also be dropped off in designated bins at the following collection sites Monday through Friday during the location's regular business hours through May 31:
- Melvin Municipal Office Building, 300 W. Washington St.
- Lewis Recreation Center, 3110 Forest Lawn Dr.
