At Penquis, we believe in the power of community support to make a difference in the lives of those facing hardships. One of the ways we extend this care is through our River Room, a resource space stocked with new, basic household and personal hygiene items. These essentials—things we all rely on every day—are often out of reach for individuals and families in need, including many of the homeless clients who turn to us for help.
Right now, our shelves are running low, and we need your support to replenish our supplies.

We are specifically in need of the following items:

• Shampoo & Conditioner
• Body Wash
• Bar Soap
• Deodorant
• Shaving Cream
• Razors
• Wet Wipes
• Chapstick
• Dish Soap
• Sponges
• Laundry Soap
• All Purpose Cleaner
• Toilet Paper
• Toilet Cleaner
• Cleaning Rags

Here’s how you can help:

1. Host a collection drive at your business.
2. Donate items directly to the River Room (drop-off details below).
3. Rally your team to shop for essentials and deliver them to Penquis.

Every contribution makes an impact, whether large or small. Together, we can ensure that no one has to go without the basic necessities of life.

If you're interested in supporting the River Room, please feel free to contact us at Lisa Adkins ladkins@penquis.org or Ashley Fickett afickett@penquis.org.. Items can be dropped off at Penquis, 262 Harlow Street, Bangor.

Thank you for joining us in making a meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbors.
