Two young political groups work together to collect charity items

Wyandotte County Young Democrats and Wyandotte County Young Republicans are coming together to collect items for a charity.

The two groups are holding a “dignity drive,” collecting hygiene items for Giving the Basics, a local nonprofit in Kansas City, Kansas.

The groups will collect these items: Deodorant, laundry detergent, toilet paper, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, feminine hygiene, toothbrushes, shaving razors and cream, and baby diapers.

Items may be dropped off from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 27, at the Moose Lodge, 6621 Turner Drive, Kansas City, Kansas.

To drop off items early, email the Young Republicans at [email protected] or call the Young Democrats at 561-267-0224.
