HYANNIS — Jim Seymour, Executive Director of the Cape and Islands Veterans Outreach Center (CIVOC), announced today that the organization has successfully located 14 new “bright blue” collection bins in the hope that the public will provide critical food and personal care supplies. These bins are circular, carry the CIVOC logo boldly on the front, and have our “wish list of most urgently needed items” attached.
While non-perishable items are ALWAYS appreciated from our friends and neighbors, we especially need pasta and sauce, dry cereals and oatmeal, and canned vegetables of all kinds, canned tuna and canned chicken, BOOST high protein drink (as well as any other similar brands) in all flavors, and personal care items such as toothbrushes and toothpaste. Also, peanut butter, canned broth, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, bars of soap, deodorant, hand cream, and packed (canned) fruit are always in demand.
