Toiletries Needed for Emergency Bags

Our Neighbors’ Table is collecting items for Emergency Bags. These bags, filled with toiletries, are distributed each year to local community service organizations, police departments, and churches. They are given to individuals who are homeless, living in motels, or who are displaced due to fire, water breaks or other emergencies.

We are looking for the following items: shampoo, deodorant, shaving cream, disposable razors, bar soap, tampons, feminine napkins, toothpaste, toothbrushes, new hand towels, new washcloths and can openers. We are hoping to fill 150 bags with emergency items.

If you would like to make a donation, please call Our Neighbors’ Table at 978-388-1907 or drop items off at the Amesbury Fire Station on School Street.

Thank you so much for your support of this important program.
