The local Fall Creek and Delaware Township Trustees are charged with providing relief to the poor, and the Fishers Government Academy Association will start a drive in April to help with personal care items for those in need.

Collection boxes will start popping up around Fishers on April 1 and you will see them through April 12. The theme of this year’s drive is “Making It Personal” because the focus will be on personal use items.

Some suggested items you can contribute include: Soap, cleaners, hygiene products, household supplies, bath supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, laundry detergent, incontinence protection for adults, diapers, etc. The Association notes that sensitive skin and hypoallergenic product donations are also appreciated.
