Faith House donation drive set for March 18

Evangeline Parish Community Coalition announced pickup for emergency supplies to benefit Faith House and domestic violence victims.
Women fleeing home in the middle of the night sometimes don’t have time to grab basic necessities. Some also don’t have money available to pick these items up after they have left.
On March 18, the Evangeline Parish Community Coalition and the Ville Platte Police Department will host an emergency supply drive at the Ville Platte Police Department from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. This will be a drive thru in front of the police department for your convenience. Members from the coalition and police department will be there to greet you so donors never have to leave their vehicle.
The following are some of the items needed: toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, deodorant, soap, toothbrush, shampoo, razor, lotion, hair brush, tampons/pads, diapers, diaper rash cream, wet wipes, baby soap, baby shampoo, child’s tooth brush, child’s tooth paste.
These items will be used throughout the year for emergency supplies at Faith House and will benefit domestic violence victims in Evangeline Parish. Faith House has expressed that these supplies are critically low at this time.
If you need more information or you would like to drop off your items early, you can contact Connie Lamke at the Ville Platte Police Department at 363-1313.
