Millbrook Village and Police Department continue donation drive through April 30

MILLBROOK— Helping those in need in Dutchess County, the Village of Millbrook is teaming with the Millbrook Police Department collecting handbags and toiletries. Donated items can be dropped off at Village Hall until April 30.

The program is in collaboration with the Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion, or LEAD, program and the “Taking it to the Streets” national nonprofit initiative. The latter volunteer group provides hot meals, clothing and hygiene projects locally in Dutchess County, with other chapters serving communities throughout the U.S.

Collected handbags filled with toiletries and hygiene products will be distributed during the month of May.

In addition to the call for new or slightly used handbags or purses, unused/unopened products being collected are toothpaste and toothbrushes, soap, deodorant, feminine products, make-up remover, face wash and creams, shampoo needs and lotions.
