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:   

DROP-OFF LOCATION 

  • Sherman United Methodist Church, 2214 Ridge Avenue. The drop-off point is on the Noyes street side of the church. 

DROP-OFF DATES
