I was glad to donate some PBJ and canned goods, but then thought of shampoo, soap, shaving cream and toiletries that are less essential than food but difficult to do without.
I called the Strater Hotel and asked if they could donate any of these items. Yes, they answered.
I expected to pick up a bag of maybe 20 hotel-size lotions, shampoos and conditioners, but waiting at the Strater desk were six boxes of high-quality items: Yes, lotion, shampoo and conditioner ,but also shaving cream, razors, swabs, body wash, bar soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes and more.
Thank you, Strater staff, for assembling everything – and thanks to the Barkers for your generous donation.
