CAP is acting as a collection point for the April drive of ALUMS (Alumni Living the University's Mission to Serve) of John Carroll University and the United Way.

One of the easiest and most thoughtful ways to help the homeless is by donating toiletries to homeless shelters. Throughout April, A.L.U.M.S. will be collecting and distributing travel-size soaps and shampoos, disposable razors, shaving cream and deodorant to provide basic hygiene to the most needy in our community.

You can help by gathering as many new, unused travel-size toiletries as possible. All toiletries collected will be sorted and distributed to shelters in May. Last year over 1000 lbs. of toiletries were collected. Please help make this year a success as well!
