When we first moved to Ridgway there was a food pantry we had to use for awhile and then I started doing my coupon thing and Andy got his disability approved so we decided to give back.

I asked the ladies what they needed and believe it or not, it was children's toothbrushes. They always had people who needed them and no means to provide them so off I went with coupons to Dollar General and walked in with a laden bag for them. Of course I also took tons of Rice Mixes and stuff I had gotten free with coupons since I can't afford to spend the money but they really didn't care how I had gotten it. And I figured I had better throw in some toothpaste, too.

At my docs office I recently found out that they are keeping small trial sizes of soaps to give out. They said people who can't afford food can't usually buy soap either or laundry detergent.

Any of these items might be good ideas to drop off at your local food pantry or church collection to help those in need.
