2026 Back to School Toiletries Drive
United Way of the Southern Tier invites the community to help meet the basic needs of local children by donating items to the 2026 Back-to-School Toiletries Drive.
Nearly 20% of children in Chemung and Steuben counties live in poverty. Families that receive government benefits such as SNAP or WIC cannot use that assistance to purchase essential hygiene items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, deodorant, and more.
You can help children in our area by donating the following through Saturday, September 12:
β€’ Toothbrushes
β€’ Toothpaste
β€’ Shampoo & conditioner or 2-in-1
β€’ Bar soap or body wash
β€’ Deodorant
β€’ Feminine hygiene products
β€’ Dental floss
β€’ Lip balm
β€’ Hand cream
β€’ Combs/brushes/picks
β€’ Small packets of tissues
β€’ Small bottles of hand sanitizer 
Items can be purchased locally and dropped off at locations across the community, or you can use this Amazon wish list to purchase items that will be shipped directly to United Way.
