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)

liquid fabric softener (He)
anti-static dryer sheets
disinfectant sprays

Of course, we can always use gift cards and gift certificates to supermarkets and discount stores like Target, Wal-Mart, and K-Mart. 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 contact us at (803) 786-6819 or secretary@palmettoplaceshelter.org to arrange pick-up.
