The Emergency Department is sponsoring a non-perishable food and blanket drive to support Travelers Aid Family Services of Philadelphia, an emergency shelter located in Wed Philadelphia that helps families in need. Most families come with a very limited supply of the personal and infant care items that are important to families in their everyday lives. Needed items include:
- Diapers (assorted sizes)
- Baby wipes
- Baby shampoo
- Infant formula
- Lotion & baby oil
- Deodorant
- Soap
- Shaving cream & razors
- Shower gel & body wash
- Shampoo & conditioner
- Wash cloths & towels
- Disinfectants
- Toothpaste & toothbrushes
- Laundry detergent & bleach
- Combs, brushes & hair accessories
Families could also use gently used infant strollers and pack-n-plays. Boxes for these items are located in the Emergency Department, Cupp lobby, and Wright-Saunders lobby. The collection will continue until Tuesday, February 26th.
