Exchange Club seeks to wipe out toilet paper shortage
Thu, 06/10/2010
With the slogan, "We get to the bottom of the problem," the Exchange Club of Highline has undertaken a unique collection drive to help area food banks.
The club is collecting rolls of toilet paper through June 30 at eight local locations. Area food bank staffers told members of the service club that they need more than food donations. Toilet paper is one of the items mentioned.
Donors can drop off rolls of bathroom tissue at the Burien fire station, 15100 8th Ave. S.W.; Normandy Park fire station, 2nd Avenue South and Normandy Road; and the North Highline fire station, 12th Avenue Southwest and Southwest 112th Street.
Other drop-off spots are Collins Chiropractic, 619 S.W. 152nd St.; E.B. Foote Winery, 127-B S.W. 153rd St.; Economy Wiring/YB Tubless, 633 S.W. 148th St.; Interiors by Jayme, 633 S.W. 153rd St.; and Matt Griffith YMCA, 3595, S. 188th St.
Club members are also having a Toilet Paper Collection Day on June 26 at the 5 Corners Albertsons, 15840 1st Ave. S., from 9 a.m.-2 p.m.
Checks for the project can also be mailed to Exchange Club of Highline, P.O. Box 66532, Burien WA 98166.
