Request for Donations to the Ruth Ellis Center
The UM Office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Affairs is partnering with LGBTQ Youth organizations. One of its first initiatives is to address the immediate needs for the Ruth Ellis Center (http://www.ruthelliscenter.com/home/index.html) which provides short-term and long-term residental safe space and support services for runaway, homeless, and at-risk gay, lesbian, bi-attractional, transgender and questioning youth in Detroit and Southeastern Michigan. The Ruth Ellis Center staff work very hard to obtain funds, facilities, food, and skill development opportunities; however personal care products are always a need for the center.
The Health Sciences Libraries are supporting this effort by collecting donations of personal hygiene products (full-size or trial-size) from now through Monday, July 2nd. A collection box for the donated items is available at Public Health Library & Informatics (M2030 SPH II) and the Dentistry Library (1100 Dental Building).
Examples of needed items include:
Toothbrush
Toothpaste
Hair products, especially black hair care products (shampoo, conditioner, oils, & other)
Deodorant
Feminine hygiene products
Soap
