2026 Lenten Project

EACM Personal Care/Cleaning Supplies Drive

Eastern Area Community Ministries spends approximately $200/week to keep the personal care/cleaning supplies section of their pantry stocked when they don't have adequate stock - which is most of the time, except when WE do our annual November Personal Care drive!

This Lent, we have set a goal to collect $200 per week of personal care supplies throughout the six weeks of Lent. If accomplished that would save EACM $1,200 in restricted funding, meaning EACM’s funding would last 6 weeks longer instead of running out before the end of the year. It's not an exact science, but we’re guessing that between 60-75 items per week would equal $200.

These are the most needed items at EACM:

✅Toilet paper

✅Laundry Detergent

✅Body Wash

✅Shampoo (consider multicultural options)

✅Deodorant

✅Feminine Hygiene

✅Toothpaste

✅Clorox

✅Anything used to stay clean or make something clean!

If you prefer to donate funds, we’ll do the shopping! Click HERE, or look for the QR codes around the church. If you prefer to donate by cash/check - please mark for EACM Personal Care.

Your Lenten generosity will provide comfort, dignity, and hope to people in our community!
