United Way California Capital Region is excited to host the 5th
annual LIVE UNITED Toilet Paper Drive! In effort to create
awareness of the growing demand for services faced by many local
nonprofits, we are cutting their toilet paper costs. On Thursday,
June 13 we will be at Cal Expo collecting toilet paper from
7 a.m. – 7 p.m. Choose your roll to help us hit our
goal!
DONATE toilet paper, toilet paper, and
more toilet paper. Roll this news out to your friends, family,
co-workers and get them to donate toilet paper. It’s fun and a
simple way to give back. You
can also donate online!
VOLUNTEER to work a three-hour shift at
Cal Expo the day of the drive. There’s truly something for
everyone and all ages are welcome! Simply submit the volunteer
form.
Pet Peeve Alert: I hate running out of toilet
paper!
Running out of toilet paper is annoying. It seems like you never
remember to buy more until you are in desperate need. Then it’s
even more irritating because, when you do realize you need it,
it’s always right after you just made a trip to the store, and
now you have to make another trip specifically for toilet paper.
And it’s not like you live all that close to the store. Nor are
you excited about shelling out $10 for a pack, like it’s made out
of gold leaf and bunny fur or something.
