TP Run!Bring Toilet Paper, Toothbrushes, Soap, Other Necessities to HBAL
through June 29.The Remodelers Council is having its fifth TP Run (Toilet Paper
Run) to help the clients of the Community Mental Health Center (CMHC). These clients are on fixed incomes, and after
rent and medical expenses, often are left with very little money for the basic necessities. And, with a decline in the amount
of items given from the Center for People in Need, donations from the Remodelers Council of Lincoln are even more helpful
than ever before.
Items that would be greatly appreciated by CMHC & its clients: • Toilet paper • Laundry soap • Shampoo • Toothpaste •
Sanitary products for women • Bar soap for men • Bath gel soap for women • Cleaning supplies • Poly-grip
Please pick up an extra roll of toilet paper or bar of soap on your next shopping trip, and drop it by the HBAL office before
June 29. Thanks for helping to take care of our community!
