Middletown Woman Collecting Toiletries For The Homeless

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — A Middletown woman who runs the Little Things Community Pantry is running a fall toiletry drive to help Bayshore families in need.

"This drive aims to collect much-needed hygiene products to support individuals and families facing financial challenges," said Middletown mom Melissa DeVito. "Together, we can make a difference and help our neighbors in need."

All collected items will be distributed to the Bayshore area's homeless population, local shelters, food pantries and organizations serving Bayshore residents in need.

DeVito is currently asking the community to donate essential personal care items. You are asked to purchase the items from her Amazon wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/20H9P0WJNSEBV?ref_=wl_share
