We are running low on toiletry items Please ask your colleagues to save hotel toiletries to donate to Retriever Essentials.  Not only do we provide bags of free, non-perishable foods to students facing food insufficiency, we also provide toiletries.

Right now we are low on soap, toothpaste, dental floss, shampoo/conditioner, lotion, etc.

Many of our colleagues travel frequently.  Donating hotel toiletries is a great way to help our students.

We are also in need of single serving pop top type foods as we have at least one student living in their car.

Thanks for passing the word and encouraging others to join Retriever Essentials.

Please ask others to join this group Hi,

We're asking people if they can:

(1) Arrange to do a non-perishable food drive at your holiday party (we will send students to pick up), and

(2) Ask others to join the Retriever Essentials Group.  Right now we've got 29 people in the group, but we'd like to grow it to at least 200.  Please share with others in your department.

Many thanks for your assistance.
