We Need Your Help: Toilet Paper Drive 2016!

Post Author: Jason Terry

In July 2014, we did a toilet paper drive for Hope House. Hope House provides victims of domestic violence with shelter and comprehensive services. We ended up collecting 2,200 rolls. That’s about a two month supply of toilet paper for their two locations.

My good friend Earl at Fry-Wagner Moving and Storage helped us deliver the cases of toilet paper to Hope House by donating a truck and two movers to get the job done.

As far as supporting local not-for-profits, we prefer not to do the same thing every year. We want to “spread the love” around our community. There are so many not for profits with very real needs. So we didn’t end up doing a toilet paper drive in 2015, but earlier this month I got an email from Hope House telling me they were in desperate need of common toiletry items, including… you guessed it… toilet paper.

It’s Time for Another Toilet Paper Drive!

Six boxes... it's a start!Our goal is to collect 5,000 rolls of toilet paper for Hope House by the end of November. We’ve kick-started the process by ordering 480 rolls from Amazon.com.

Earl and Fry-Wagner Moving and Storage are going to support our efforts again this year. Earl said, “I hope that we have to use two trucks to pick up and deliver this time!”

Look at that sad, lonely stack of boxes. It’s hard to believe that they hold 480 rolls of toilet paper. We need a bunch more!

Current Donations (updated as we get them): 1,645 rolls as of 11/12/2016.
