BUFFALO — Catholic Charities is gearing up for the new school year by hosting a personal care item drive to benefit families and individuals in need throughout Genesee, Orleans and Wyoming counties.

“The last few years, we have held a donation drive for new socks and undergarments, but this year, we’ve seen a shift toward clients needing greater assistance with personal care items like shampoo and deodorant, as well as cleaning supplies like paper towels, laundry detergent, and antibacterial wipes, so this year we catered our donation drive to where the biggest needs are,” said Tri-County District Director Kate DiSalvo of Catholic Charities in a news release. “We hope our donation drive can give individuals and families — especially parents — one less thing to worry about this fall.”
