It’s October, a time of mischief and mayhem. But what if, instead of pulling pranks on your neighbors and friends, you could use that stockpile of toilet paper to bring a bit of peace into the lives of low income families in Johnson County?

Toilet paper is in high demand at the Food Bank because it is not covered in what people can purchase with their SNAP benefits (sometimes called “food stamps”). Our food bank serves 1,000 households each week. For many of the families that visit our food bank, receiving a few simple rolls of toilet paper helps preserve dignity while on a tight budget.

You can help by:

• Picking up an extra package of toilet paper next time you’re at the store
• Hosting your own toilet paper drive at work, church, school, or in your neighborhood, or
• Making a cash donation to help the food bank buy toilet paper in bulk

As always, we appreciate your support and we couldn’t do it without you!
