The Elder Care Community Council is seeking donations of household items for their annual New Year's baskets program.
This is the 5th year of the program which provides laundry baskets full of household items to homebound seniors that are on the Franklin County food pantry delivery routes.
The items they are seeking are items that everyone needs in their home but cannot be purchased with food stamps.
Items you can donate include laundry soap and bar soap, dishwashing soap, dish cloths & dish towels as well as tissues and paper towels.
They
also need toilet paper, toilet cleaners and toilet brushes along with
all purpose cleaner and cleaning cloths.
You can take your donations to the Holy Family Senior Center at 203 Dr. Frederick Humphries Street in Apalachicola from 9 till 1 Monday through Friday.
Items need to be dropped off before January the 28th.
The
baskets will be distributed during the first week of February.
Or if you would like to donate cash, they can use that to buy the items.
You can send a check to the Elder Care Community Council, PO Box 335, Eastpoint, FL 32328.
Or go on-line and use your credit card at PayPal.me/ecccfranklin.
Specify "New Year's Baskets" so your donation will go to help fill the baskets.
Each basket is valued at about $40.
