- socks
- deodorant
- comb or brush
- shampoo
- nail clippers
- shave cream
Drop off any items you care to donate at our studios, 1749 Bertrand Drive. The deadline for collecting items is October 16th.
Other drop-off points include Neff Rentals on Hwy 14 in New Iberia; National Oilwell Varco on Hwy 90 in New Iberia; Chapman Consulting on Thoroughbred Drive; LADOT on Hugh Wallis Road.
