12th Annual Health & Hygiene Drive
begins
By Scott Godshaw
The time for the 12th Annual Health & Hygiene Drive has arrived. The
official kick-off of the Drive was announced at the March 7, 2001 Milwaukee
County Labor Council meeting. We are requesting that you donate items such as:
toothbrushes, toothpaste, non-alcohol mouthwash, razors, shaving cream, combs,
brushes and hair picks, hair care products, spray deodorant, lip balm, baby
products, feminine products, paper products, laundry supplies and first aid
supplies. Your contribution allows clients from over 20 Milwaukee area United
Way Agencies (mostly shelters) to receive basic items that assist in keeping
their self-esteem and dignity intact. The needs of shelters continue to grow.
Labor has been the largest contributor of health and hygiene items.
Francine Feinberg, Executive Director of Meta House said, “Your
assistance with their basic hygiene needs lets them know that others in the
community care about them”.
Please bring your items to the next membership meeting, which will be
held on Thursday, April 19, 2001 at AMF Bowlero, or to the Union Office located
at 85th & Capitol Drive, anytime through May 25th. Thank you in advance.
