Collections

October Collection

In October we are collecting new socks and new underwear, both children and adult sizes. We will deliver to several non-profit partners, most notably Note in the Pocket. We are also collecting school snacks for Backpack Buddies! You may place items in the red bins located around campus. You can also order from WMPC’s Amazon list and items will automatically ship to WMPC.

Order through Amazon

 

Other Items
Snacks and small water bottles for children attending summer camps
Travel size lotion, hand sanitizer deodorant, powder and Chapstick

Food Needed
Remember that food is always needed in our local pantries. When shopping pick up a couple of extra cans to place in the crate in the Red Bins. Canned meat, pasta, pinto beans, kidney beans and fruit are always needed. No glass or open containers please.

 

Red Bin Locations

Red bins are located in the breezeway outside of Pickard Hall, in The Hub and outside Main Hall in the Edinburgh Building.
