We have served 94 community members so far this month, and our shelves are getting low FAST!

If you’re able, please consider donating to help us keep essential items available for those who need them most.

We are currently in need of:
• Deodorant (men’s and women’s), shampoo and conditioner, body wash.
• Size large adult diapers.
• Single toothbrushes and full-sized toothpaste.
• Panty liners and pads with wings.
• Paper towels, laundry detergent, trash bags, and household cleaning products.
• Band-aids, rubbing alcohol, and denture care products.

Monetary donations are also greatly appreciated and help us purchase high-need items in bulk. You can donate online through our website or by mail at:
CLU-W Hygiene Pantry, P.O. Box 131, Savoy, IL 61871.

Donations can be dropped off during pantry hours on Thursdays, 5 to 7 PM, and Saturdays, 10 AM to 12 PM.

A local drive is running until April 30th at Illinois Extension's Champaign office (801 N. Country Fair Dr., Champaign). Items can be dropped off between 8 AM and 4 PM Monday-Friday.

Every donation, big or small, helps us continue serving our community with dignity and care.
