SnapGap: June-July, 2021
June 19, 26, and July 3 are the Drop Off Days for much needed Toothpaste, Dishwashing liquid, and Sponges
Interfaith Action of Evanston operates a monthly Produce Mobile, year-round, providing free groceries and toiletries to around 250 families.
For the July 13th Produce Mobile, they are in need of the following items:
- Toothpaste
- Dishwashing liquid
- Sponges
Please limit your generosity to the items requested.
In addition to providing groceries, the Produce Mobile tries to fill in the SNAPGap for families by requesting donations of specific items to also be distributed to families through the Produce Mobile. SNAP is the government program that helps provide people living under the poverty line with groceries. SNAP does not help with essential toiletries, so there is a GAP in needs.
Here is the information if you would like to help:
