The items they are gathering include:
- Adult incontinence products (e.g., briefs, pads, bed pads)
- Wipes for cleaning without water
- Disinfecting wipes (e.g., Clorox wipes)
- Disposable exam gloves (for changing & cleanup)
- Ointments (e.g., A&D, Aquaphor)
- Hand sanitizer
- Ensure, Boost, other supplements / nutritional drinks
- Water
To support the supply drive you may order directly from this amazon list or drop items off at the Dementia Alliance office (located at 9131 Anson Way, Suite 206 Raleigh, NC 27613) from now until October 11 ( Monday-Friday) from 9:30am – 4:30pm.
