Personal Essentials Pantry launches donation opportunity at Trig’s

The First United Methodist Church’s Personal Essentials Pantry is expanding its efforts to support local families by partnering with Trig’s in Rhinelander to offer a new, convenient way for the community to give back.
According to a press release announcing the initiative, Trig’s has assembled prepackaged “grab-and-go” donation bags filled with essential personal and household hygiene items. Customers can simply purchase a bag during their regular shopping trip and donate it directly to the pantry.
These grab bags provide an easy and impactful way to support individuals and families in need by helping supply critical items such as personal hygiene products, household cleaners, diapers, and other everyday essentials that are often not covered by
traditional assistance programs, the release states.
The program, which is being organized with assistance from this year’s Leadership Oneida County students, will kick off at 3 p.m. Wednesday, April 15 at Trig’s in Rhinelander (232 S. Courtney St.)

The Personal Essentials Pantry is entirely volunteer-run and depends solely on the generosity of community members and local partners to meet the growing demand for these basic necessities.
“This initiative makes giving simple and accessible for everyone,” said a pantry representative. “Every donation helps ensure our neighbors have access to the essentials they need for health, dignity, and daily living.”
