The cost of things like paper towels, toilet paper, feminine napkins, diapers and wipes and other hygiene items can sure mount up when running a shelter like the Sierra House.

All necessary and needed items, but items that aren't donated very often.

So we are having a paper goods drive for various charities around town. Partners in this effort include the Silver City Gospel Mission, El Refugio and the KISS program (Kids in need of supportive services).

Items needed are things like

Paper towels
Dinner napkins
Coffee filters
Toilet paper
Cotton swabs and cotton balls
Feminine products
Diapers, both baby and adult
Baby and personal hygiene wipes
