Office supplies are one of those mundane things that are oh-so-easy to forget are needed when you're working at a nonprofit..... that is until we are emptying out all the cabinets trying to find that perfect 4.125 x 9.5 envelope to send thank you notes to our amazing donors.Will you please help us find that perfect envelope?

the toilet paper

The Lovewell Center sees hundreds of individuals who are in need of a public restroom. Toilet paper, as small and as mundane as it may seem, is one of those things that is always needed and brings a small sense of security to those we serve.
