Drop-off Time: 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Requested Hygiene Supplies:
- Toothpaste & toothbrushes

Your support makes a real difference! Every donated item helps bring comfort, dignity, and hope to someone experiencing homelessness in Columbia.
Together, let’s honor World Homeless Day by turning care into action.
