The following items will be collected through Tuesday, Dec. 2, at 4 p.m.:

l Miscellaneous articles, such as toilet paper, paper towels, Kleenex, shampoo, no-tear shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, hand soap, laundry soap, fabric softener, combs, brushes and towels.

l New sheets for twin- and full-sized beds, pillow cases (flat or fitted) and afghans.

l School supplies, such as paper, pencils, pens, crayons, etc.

l Underwear and socks for boys and girls, ages 3-14.
