Basic necessities like soap and toothpaste may not be something you think about every day. For some students, though, the need for those kinds of items is at the top of their minds. That is why Community School Resource Rooms can be extremely helpful, and with kids back in school, those shelves need a refill.

That’s why United Way is partnering with ABC 6 News to collect hygiene items in our Stuff the Resource Room supply drive, and we need your help to make sure we can stuff each and every resource room with supplies!

Drop off donated items on Tuesday, September 23 between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. at the United Way of Southeast Minnesota building. If you can't bring an item but would still like to support Community Schools, please visit uwsemn.org/school and make a donation today!

Requested Items:

  • Full-Size Shampoo & Conditioner (for textured hair types as well) 
  • Lotion 
  • Body Wash 
  • Toothpaste & Toothbrushes 
  • Chapstick 
  • Deodorant 
  • Hair Brushes 
  • Laundry Detergent 
  • Hand Soap 
  • Kleenex Boxes
  • Toilet Paper
  • Menstrual Products
