Donate personal care items to help families in need

Donate personal care items and help a family in need! Click here for a downloadable PDF flier.

Did you know that SNAP benefits cannot be used to purchase personal care items or toiletries? These items are a necessity, but can be an extra expense that many low-income families cannot afford.

NHCO accepts personal care items and toiletries throughout the year so that families who use our pantries may select items. In late March, NHCO holds a Personal Care Items collection so that we can provide each family with a bag of personal care items and toiletries.

Suggested items include shampoo, soap and shower gel (unscented is best), body lotion (unscented is best), feminine hygiene products, shaving cream and disposable razors, toothpaste, mouthwash, toothbrushes, washcloths or shower poufs, and lip balm.

Personal care items and toiletries donations are accepted year round and are especially needed in March and April. 

Please be sure to fill out a  donation slip when you drop off your items…not only does the slip serve as a thank you and for your tax record, but it is extremely important for our record keeping!

FOUR EASY WAYS YOU CAN DONATE FOOD or ITEMS!

  1. NHCO’s offices are open 9am-4pm, Monday through Friday.
  2. We have special donation times on the FIRST Saturday morning of each month from 9am-noon in our Allison Park pantry behind the main building.
  3. You may call 412-487-6316 opt 1 to make alternative arrangements as available. 
  4. Or you can donate at other locations in the community.

We respectfully request that items not be left outside due to potential damage from weather, animals and insects.
