FOCUS Donation Days: Small Items. Big Impact.

When people think about donating to help their neighbors, basic personal-care items such as toothbrushes, toiletries, and new socks, can be overlooked, but they are essential to a person’s health, comfort, and dignity.

FOCUS is holding Donation Days to collect these and other needed supplies for guests of the FOCUS Breakfast Club.
