The West Fargo Public Library is collecting hygiene products for those in need. The hygiene product drive, which runs now through July 31, seeks to provide much-needed support to shelters such as the YWCA Emergency Shelter, Gladys Ray Shelter, Churches United, and Dorothy Day House.
Members of the public can participate by donating new personal and family hygiene products at the service desk of the West Fargo Public Library (215 3rd Street E, West Fargo) during regular operating hours. The collected items will be distributed to the shelters to benefit individuals and families in need.
