Central Elementary Holiday Drive

OUR CAUSE

R. L. Reppert, Inc. has partnered with Central Elementary School to organize a holiday drive to collect basic necessities and food items for low-income families in the Allentown School District. The holiday season is hard enough on families but these students feel that pressure more than most due to the lack of basic necessities. These students are not looking for the newest iPhone, newest video game, or newest toy like most kids would at that young age. They simply want food, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, and other basic life necessities that all of us never really think much of because we always have them. When the teachers ask the students to create lists of what they want for Christmas, these items are what they list more often than toys.

Please feel free to donate any items you wish to provide. Let’s provide a great Christmas for these 750 students so they are able to enjoy their holiday season.

Basic Necessities

Toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, shampoo (10-20oz), conditioner(10-20oz), body wash(10-20oz), bar soap, deodorant, lotion (small bottles), hair brushes, hand sanitizer (small), chap stick, tissues (small packs), and toothbrush holders.

Food & Clothing

Food
Cereal boxes (small), granola bars, fruit snacks, rice krispie treats, restaurant gift certificates (multiple smaller denominations), other food items (individually wrapped).

Clothing
Hats, gloves, socks, and hair ties.

Other Items

School supplies, pens, pencils, crayons (small multi packs), reading books, coloring books, toys, board games, play dough, etc.
