What's on your household shopping list? Yours is probably very similar to ours, only a bit shorter! If you'd like to add us to your shopping list the next time you hit the grocery or discount store, here's what we could use:

Kitchen & Laundry Supplies
liquid detergent for the dishwasher
liquid detergent (Dawn, Joy, etc.)
trash bags (30 & 39 gallon size)
laundry detergent
anti-static dryer sheets
disinfectant sprays
spray bottles of cleaning liquids (409, clorox, works, etc.)
paper towels
toilet paper

Personal Care/Grooming Supplies
shampoo and conditioner
hair grease and conditioner
hair gel
hair accessories (barrettes, ponytail holders, etc.)
stick deodorant (male and female)
dove soap (unscented)

Of course, we can always use gift cards and gift certificates to supermarkets and discount stores like Target, Wal-Mart and K-Mart. And we are always in need of certificates or coupons that we can use to entertain the kids while they're at the shelter. The children enjoy going to the movies, bowling alleys, skating rinks, fun parks, etc. And all that play makes for hungry mouths, so they also appreciate gift certificates to fast food or kid-friendly restaurants.

If you'd like to donate any of these items, please call the shelter at (803)786-6819 to arrange for someone to pick up your donation.
