Pantries here need more than food

Can you imagine spending a day without toilet paper and soap?

Most of us take these items for granted. Not so for needy families. They are lucky to get a bar of soap and two rolls of toilet paper from area pantries, where personal care items are in short supply.

That’s why Eileen Newman, a volunteer with the Middleton Outreach Ministry Food Pantry, is organizing a personal care items drive Nov. 1-13. During the drive, donation bins will be located at 33 locations (including the Morgridge Center on the UW-Madison campus).
