DCP to host drive for critically needed hygiene products May 26 in Machias
Downeast Community Partners (DCP) is hosting a “Top to Bottom Drive” to collect critically needed personal hygiene and home cleaning items. The drive will take place Friday, May 26, at Hannaford in Bar Harbor, Ellsworth, and Machias; Walmart in Calais; and the Blue Hill Co-op. “SNAP benefits do not cover hygiene items or cleaning supplies,” notes DCP’s Development Director Sharon Catus, “yet without these items, one’s quality of life can be severely impacted. Imagine not having diapers for your children; soap; shampoo; toothbrushes; deodorant; disinfectant spray; paper towels.
