Donation Drive for Non-food Items

The Onalaska-Holmen Food Basket provides lots of food to lots of people... people who also often struggle to buy non-food essentials. To help meet that need, First Lutheran will collect non-food items for the food basket for 2 weeks in September. You can start bringing donations to the church on Monday, Sept. 9, and we'll wrap up the drive on Sunday, Sept. 22. The food basket prefers items in small or medium sizes so that they can provide supplies to more families. For example, think about donating two small or medium size jugs of laundry detergent instead of one megasize jug.

Here are some ideas for what to donate:

• Dish soap

• All-purpose cleaners

• Toilet bowl cleaners

• Laundry detergent

• Personal care items

• Shampoo & conditioner

• Soap

• Body lotion

• Deodorant

• Paper towels

• Tissues

• Toilet paper

• Diapers sizes 4, 5 & 6

• Adult diapers
