A Great Roll Out: Volunteers Deliver Toilet Paper Donations to Loaves and Fishes

A big thank you goes to all our volunteers for calling, collecting, connecting, carrying and coming through on this much needed Mitzvah in a Minute (MIM) Toilet Paper Drive. Our volunteers “rolled in” at Loaves and Fishes on October 23rd to deliver approximately 1,500 rolls of toilet paper.

From Loaves & Fishes:
“Toilet paper drives allow Loaves and Fishes to keep their restrooms, and their clients, well supplied with toilet paper, without drawing funds away from other life-saving survival support services provided by Loaves and Fishes. Clean, well-stocked restrooms are a luxury for people experiencing homelessness, which is why Loaves and Fishes goes through an immense amount of toilet paper – providing an estimated 1,000 homeless individuals a day with toilet paper.”

From our volunteers:

“It was really nice to see real people in real time and physical space! Thanks for organizing this, Sheila, Sunny and Shirley.”
– Lisa B.

“It was fun to see everyone and participate.”
– Elena

“I’ve never seen 15 plus people have so much fun doing a mitzvah project. I think being able to connect in person, all of us a bit jazzed with all the TP we collected. And, maybe the most important mitzvah was that of connecting. We need to continue these projects. I have to say, when I suggested neighborhood coordinators calling people and then all of us coming together, I just had no idea how important it was. And, meanwhile, clearly, Loaves and Fishes folks were happy.”

– Sunny

“Thank you for your hard work and for taking all the rolls to Loaves and Fishes

today.”
– Susan
