Orange County Rescue Mission desperately needs hygiene items for the formerly homeless living in its transitional facilities in Orange County.
Jim Palmer, the nonprofit’s president, said the need is “dire” for the 178 residents at Village of Hope, Tustin Veterans Outpost and Double R Ranch.
These are the items the Rescue Mission is seeking soap/shampoo, underwear for women (all sizes) and children (all sizes), toothpaste, razors, shave cream, feminine hygiene products, laundry detergent and rolls of toilet paper.
The organization said it also needs new sets of twin-size sheets, bath towels and bed pillows.
