winter coats,winter hats,gloves,socks,underwear,disposable masks,hand sanitizer,shampoo,conditioner,body wash toothpaste, toothbrushes,Kleenex,laundry soap,dryer sheets. 
We will also be collecting  coffee  and  breakfast or granola bars,something

wrapped that men can put in their pockets as they are outside of the shelter during the day.  Any monetary donations collected will be used to purchase Strack and Van Til gift cards for the men .
