Where to drop off donations of personal supplies?

[vlayne.livejournal.com]

The cleanout of my aunt's apartment continues. Is there some place in the Greater Camberville Area that I could drop off donations TONIGHT (Sunday) of (all unopened):

* feminine hygiene supplies
* hair dye
* stationery, esp envelopes
* napkins, ziplocs
* children's board books

Also it turns out she was stockpiling acetominiphen (tylenol) so we have many unopened and unexpired bottles. Suggestions?

The Somerville Homeless Coalition's in-kind donations list includes feminine hygiene supplies and paper towels (which might reasonably include paper napkins?). Sadly their office in Davis doesn't have Sunday hours, but I could pick those things up late this evening (would after 9pm work?) to bring to them during the week. I'm not sure if they could use the acetominiphen, ziplocks, or stationary.

Could we drop off at your place? It's all in a moving box. PM me your addy if that would be okay, and the earliest and latest times.

... Did we fail to include the hair dye in the box?

The box contained no hair dye, no ziplocks, and no acetominiphen.

Ah, crap. I found the acetaminophen and ziplocs, but the hair dye I think is still at her place.

Still looking for a place for the board books?

The following schools in Somerville have donation bins that will take the board books:

Brown School- 201 Willow Ave; the bin is located on the Kidder Ave side.
West Somerville Neighborhood School, 177 Powderhouse Blvd; the bin is on the right as you face the building.
Argenziano School at Lincoln Park, 290 Washington St; the bin is set back from the street, on the right as you face circular drive-around.
Kennedy School, 5 Cherry St; the bin is located along the Elm St side of the building.

The bins belong to companies that sort through the donations to determine their best use, including reuse, repurposing or recycling. Each time the container is emptied, the school PTA earns money.
