DONATIONS of DIGNITY | 13th Annual County Wide Personal Care Drive

Throughout the month of October, Ellenville Public Library & Museum will be participating in ‘Donations of Dignity’, an annual  county wide Personal Care Drive mobilized by the Daily Bread Soup Kitchen in Woodstock, NY.  People of low/no income cannot use food stamps to purchase personal care items such as toothbrushes, soap, personal hygiene supplies or household cleaning products.  For the past 13 years, ‘Donations of Dignity’ has helped our neighbors in need to benefit from the same sense of self-care that most of us take for granted.  "Basic needs extend beyond food, shelter and clothing. We all want to feel good about ourselves; approach each day with the sense of renewal that personal care items bring. ‘Donations of Dignity’ offers that opportunity to so many people in Ulster County." Says Jan Whitman, of the Food Bank of the Hudson Valley. People can bring new, unused personal care items to the circulation desk at EPL&M during regular hours. At the end of the month, EPL&M will distribute all donations to Family of Ellenville and the Rochester Food Pantry.  To learn more, contact Victoria Langling by email: dbsk@christwoodstock.org  or by telephone: (845) 246-3036 x7333.  Ellenville Public Library  & Museum is located at 40 Center Street, Ellenville, NY. This is the fourth year EPL&M has participated in ‘Donations of Dignity’.
