Car dealerships Bob Sight Ford and Bob Sight Kia collected more than 200 rolls of toilet paper for Jewish Family Services' (JFS) annual Wipe Out summer campaign for its food pantry.
With the pantry serving more than 500 families each month, keeping toilet paper in stock is challenging. Each month, the pantry provides clients with more than 2,500 rolls of toilet paper. Toilet paper is an essential household item that SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) does not cover.
With the end of additional government benefits that took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, JFS anticipates a greater demand for food as well as cleaning and hygiene items, including toilet paper.
Wipe Out donations are still being collected and can be dropped off in designated JFS food pantry barrels at the Jewish Community Campus during business hours or by scheduling a delivery at the Brookside office by calling (816) 333-1172.
