Residents of Front Royal and Welltown Watts are coming together to collect essential items for care packages aimed at supporting the homeless population. This initiative focuses on gathering supplies that will be distributed to local shelters, including the Salvation Army.
The items most urgently needed include a variety of self-care and practical products. Donations are particularly welcome for travel-sized toiletries, band-aids, chapsticks, and hand warmers. Other requested items include tissues, hand wipes, blankets, and suitable bags such as suitcases with handles and wheels, or duffel bags. Additionally, protective clothing essentials like ponchos, jackets, hats, scarves, socks, and gloves are crucial for those facing harsh weather conditions.
