The Livingston Philanthropies, Inc. continues to collect small-sized toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, lotion, razors, tooth brushes, tooth paste, mouth wash, cotton swabs, soap, women’s pads and diapers. The collection continues year ’round, noted founder and director Jeff Friedman.
“Staying in a hotel while vacationing? Cruising, perhaps? Those cute, complimentary toiletries represent a treasure trove for our less fortunate brothers and sisters living out on the streets or in homeless shelters, just minutes away!” he said.
Friedman noted that Livingston Philanthropies is also running a continuing Cosmetics and Makeup Challenge. “You got ‘em, the ‘poor, homeless and disenfranchised’ need ’em,’ ” he said, quoting his organization’s mission statement. “Looking one’s best, unfortunately, can be reduced to economics. All beauty items are appreciated, please.”
