Middletown Mom Collects Toiletries For Homeless Camps In The Woods

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — Middletown mom Melissa DeVito is again doing her annual fall toiletry drive, and she is asking the community to donate.

Last year, she requested travel-size toiletries and the donations were given to the homeless, mental health and sober living facilities.

This year, Ryan Schoentube, the owner of Fly Guys Barbershop in Red Bank, said he will donate toiletry bags to homeless who are living in camps in the woods in Monmouth County.

"This year there is a high demand right here in our community, so we are requesting standard-size bottles to help individuals and families in the Bayshore community, including but not limited to Union Beach, Keyport, Holmdel, Keansburg, Middletown, etc.," said DeVito.

If you want to drop off donations to fill the toiletry bags, drop off standard-sized toiletries at:

• Bo's Attic in Port Monmouth
• Lucisanos Pizza in Keansburg
• St. Ann's Church in Keansburg
• The Keansburg Waterfront Library

Or you can make a donation from their Amazon Wishlist
