Sheriff's office drive to benefit the elderly

The St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office is hosting a cleaning supply drive to benefit the senior citizens of our communities through the St. Mary Council on Aging.
According to St. Mary Council on Aging Director Beverly Domengeaux, many of the senior citizens who live in our parish are unable to afford the cost of cleaning supplies.
Cleaning supplies may be given to any St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office deputy or dropped off at either St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office in Franklin on the fourth floor of the St. Mary Parish Courthouse or in Morgan City at 1455 Railroad Avenue. The drive will end on Dec. 20 when the supplies will be delivered to the St. Mary Council on Aging to be given to senior citizens in need.
Items being collected include all types of cleaning products such as laundry detergent, dish soap, all-purpose cleaners, bleach, window cleaner, disinfectant wipes, trash bags, paper towels, mops, brooms and dust pans, buckets, toilet brushes, disinfectant spray, kitchen cleaner, bathroom cleaner, floor cleaner and dish towels.
