The community of White Settlement is extending its heart to its elderly residents through an act of simple kindness: a toiletry drive. White Settlement Community Services and their volunteer-run program, Keep White Settlement Beautiful, are leading the charge in collecting these necessities. With an invitation out to local families, the organization is looking for donations throughout September. Items can be dropped off at various locations, including the recreation center, library, or senior center, during their regular business hours.
As shared in a social media post from the group, the beneficiaries of this initiative are the seniors at the local center, who will receive these toiletries throughout the year. It's a gesture of care that spans beyond the momentary act of giving; these are supplies meant to ease some part of daily life for those who might find it burdensome to secure them. According to the White Settlement Community Services, "Families are welcome to drop off donations at the recreation center, library, or senior center during their business hours."
Further encouraging community participation, White Settlement Community Services provided a point of contact for those who wish to coordinate their donations. Mo, a member of their team, can be reached at 817-470-2525 to set up a time to drop things off. This individualized approach signifies more than just logistic convenience; it's a thread in the larger fabric of community engagement where every hand extends to hold another.
