Hygiene Items Sought By Orange County Rescue Mission

TUSTIN, CA — The Orange County Rescue Mission is seeking donations of hygiene products it says are "critically needed" for formerly people living at the organization's transitional housing facilities.

More than 170 men, women, children and veterans helped by the mission will receive the products, according to Jim Palmer, the organization's president.

Palmer said the "health and comfort" of the residents who live at the Village of Hope, Tustin Veterans Outpost and Double R Ranch facilities are a top priority for the organization.

"Now, more than ever, we rely on donations of personal hygiene items for our residents, so they have an adequate supply of basic necessities that most of us take for granted," he said.

Some of the hygienes being sought after by the Orange County Rescue Mission include:

• Bars of soap
• Shampoo
• Underwear for children and women
• Toothpaste
• Shaving cream
• Feminine hygiene products
• Toilet paper
• Laundry detergent

The rescue mission is also seeking donations of new twin-sized bed sheets and pillowcases, as well as new bath towels, the organization said in a statement.

The donated items can be dropped off at the Village of Hope at 1 Hope Drive in Tustin. Donations are accepted Monday to Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
