Have you wondered how you can offer practical help to individuals and families, who are relocating to New Jersey from countries around the world? Consider a Toiletry Kit Drive…invite participants to collect the ingredients for toiletry kits, pack each kit in a zip-lock bag, and deliver your kits to Interfaith-RISE, our regional resettlement agency. Interfaith-RISE offices are located at 19 S. 2nd Ave, Highland Park, NJ 08904 (732-357-0590); and 2384 E. Landis Ave, Vineland, NJ 08361 (732-357-0590).
What’s in a typical Toiletry Kit?
- 1 toothbrush
- 1 toothpaste
- 1 bar of soap
- 1 hand towel
- 1 washcloth
- 1 deodorant
- 1 travel-size shampoo
- 1 travel-size conditioner
- 1 travel-size lotion.
You can add other items, such as a hair brush or razor, as you tailor your toiletry kit for a man or a woman; and you can put together a child-friendly toiletry kit. Your toiletry kit will make the first night in New Jersey a little better for our new neighbors.
