*These items are stored in a place separate from the clothing.  The client must specifically request

one of these items and we try to ensure that the individuals making the request truly need that item.

**Travel-size versions of these are great!  If you do a lot of traveling and come back with hotel versions of these,

feel free to bring them by CTLC.  Our volunteers put together small personal hygiene bags for our clients

that include one of each of these items.
