AAA Washington kicks off its sixth annual Soap for Hope donation drive to collect toiletry items for local shelters, food banks and other charitable organizations.
Throughout the 2013 campaign, all donations collected at the Redmond AAA office, located at 7950 164th Ave. N.E., Ste. 102, will benefit YWCA Redmond Family Village.
As a result of the generosity of AAA members, local businesses and community partners, AAA has collected and distributed nearly 377,000 toiletry items since the launch of the campaign in 2008. All donated items have been distributed to dozens of charitable organizations throughout Washington and northern Idaho.
“There are individuals and families that really need these items, especially this time of year, and knowing that each donation directly benefits people in our own community really has a meaningful impact,” said Cheryl Keyes, manager of AAA’s office in Redmond. “We’re overwhelmed by the continued support of Soap for Hope and look forward to another successful year.”
Donations of new, full- and sample-size toiletry items such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes will be accepted year-round at all AAA locations.
