Prison Ministry toiletries collection
You can make a real difference in the life of an inmate at Dwight Women's Prison. The toiletries you provide are a way to meet the inmates' needs and to let them know that they are not forgotten.  The collection bin will be in the Narthex through the end of the month.  The following items are needed: Shampoo (16 oz.); toothpaste (4 or 6 oz.); toothbrushes (can be in multipacks); full sized bath bar soap; large sized deodorant (bar or stick only); hotel size toiletries.  Please contact Denise Poy with any questions.
