Asbury is taking part in the Lehigh Conference of Churches‘ 2024 toilet paper drive. The following is information from the Conference of Churches:
Toilet paper is in great demand as it falls outside the items covered by SNAP benefits, commonly known as “food stamps.” When families and individuals come to us, receiving just one roll of toilet paper can alleviate one expense from their tight budgets.
This February we are asking the community to donate toilet paper to help those less fortunate. Last year, because of the generosity of so many we collected over 1,400 rolls!
If you can pick up a bulk load of toilet paper, consider setting some aside to donate. It is one of the most essential household items and should be readily available to everyone—with your help, it can be that again. Remember to keep possible allergies in mind when you donate items like these. Stick to unscented toilet paper and you should be just fine.
· Picking up an extra package of toilet paper next time you’re at the store and putting it in a marked collection bin at Asbury
or
· Making a cash/check donation to help the Conference buy toilet paper in bulk. (Donations can be made directly to the Conference of Churches or – if you prefer – can be submitted via Asbury’s church office. If sending to Asbury’s office, please designate monetary donations as “LCC Toilet Paper Drive.”)
Collection bins – marked for the “On a Roll” toilet paper drive – will be located at both the upper and lower entrances at Asbury. Collections will be received from February 1 – 29.
