Oshkosh Area United Way continues to collect essential supplies for local agencies to be stocked in the new Live United Community Vault located at 16 Washington Ave., Oshkosh.
Beth Oswald, OAUW President and CEO, said “33% of households in our county cannot afford their basic needs, 41% in Oshkosh, and the need for services is stuck well above pre-pandemic levels. By collecting and stocking supplies in our new spacious vault, we hope to reduce expenses for the area nonprofits so that their limited dollars can be put towards the programs that serve our friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers in our community.”
Area nonprofits will be able to access these supplies year-round to better assist the community.
The Community Vault is currently low on or out of shampoo, body wash, deodorant, shaving cream, razors, laundry detergent, pull-ups, baby wipes, toilet paper, paper towels, plates, and plastic silverware.
