Donate Soap For Local Inmates: For Many Incarcerated Women, It's The Only Gift They Are Given

Press release from the Town of Bedford:

From the Prison Relations Advisory Committee:

Our neighbors at Taconic and Bedford Hills Correctional Facilities are deeply grateful for donations of soap. As you can imagine, the prison issued soap is not as good as what we have on the outside! Also, for many incarcerated women, this is the only gift they are given.

Approved soaps are

• Dove
• Michel Design Works
• Irish Spring

Please donate in individually sealed boxes. Soaps may not contain any alcohol.

Bedford PRAC Chair Sharon Ballen reminds us, "We all deserve grace. We all deserve mercy. And we all need to know that we have value. Thank you for your continued generosity and compassion."

Approved soaps may be dropped at:

Katonah Presbyterian Church (on the Church House porch)
31 Bedford Road, Katonah
