Open Door Wants Your Paper Towels, TP, And More…

If you do the shopping you know paper goods and other household supplies can drive up your grocery bill. It's the same when it comes to Open Door. One of the ways you can help Open Door continue to battle food insecurity and more in Pettis County is to give them a hand.

Open Door needs the following items:

• Paper towels
• Toilet paper
• Napkins
• Bleach
• Liquid hand soap
• Trash bags
• Coffee filters
• Plastic forks,
• Eight-ounce paper cups
• Three-compartment clamshell to-go containers
• Reams of copy paper.

The clamshell to-go containers can be ordered from here or here.

So the next time you go shopping and are picking up a pack of TP for your family, or paper towels, or any of those necessities needed for your home. Pick something from the list that Open Door needs and buy it for them.

You can then take the item, or items, to the following drop-off locations:
