Urgent Need for Toilet Paper and Cleaning Supplies during COVID-19 Response
Seattle, WA – Amid the current public health crisis, government agencies, businesses, and nonprofit organizations are working to keep unhoused people in Seattle healthy and safe. The Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) is responding to the COVID-19 outbreak by partnering with the City of Seattle and construction partners to quickly move ahead in expanding Tiny House Villages (THVs). Find more details about these activities here: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/homeless/seattle-mayor-to- expand-shelter-space-available-for-homeless-as-a-result-of-coronavirus-outbreak/ LIHI also operates three Urban Rest Stop (URS) sites at our Ballard, Downtown, and University District locations. They provide a safe, clean place for homeless women and men to use restrooms, take showers, and do their laundry. We served 10,000 unduplicated individuals in 2019. Each week, these three sites collectively use 60 rolls (or one case) of toilet paper. At this critical moment, we do not have enough toilet paper to last more than two weeks. We would be grateful for your donation, which is crucial to keeping these hygiene facilities supplied and able to serve our most vulnerable neighbors at this difficult time. LIHI has an urgent need for supplies such as:
Toilet paper – Big need
Hand sanitizer (with at least 70% Isopropyl alcohol)
Clorox wipes (with at least 70% Isopropyl alcohol)
Spray cleaner (with at least 70% Isopropyl alcohol)
Gloves
Masks
Laundry detergent
Shower gel
All sorts of cleaning supplies
Toothpaste
Toothbrushes
Band-aids
If you’d like to make a donation of any of the above items, please bring them directly to one of the Urban Rest Stops or contact LIHI Community Engagement Director Josh Castle at (206) 334-0508 or josh.castle@lihi.org. We can pick them up! URS addresses: Downtown – 1924 9th Ave. / Ballard – 2014 NW 57th St. / U-District – 1415 NE 43rd St. Please check our Urban Rest Stops page for opening hours.

Imagine Croydon, but instead of the traffic and noise, it’s your house after a deep clean. There’s something magical about professional cleaners – like having a superhero sweep in, minus the cape. I recently hired cleaners through https://www.emop.co.uk/croydon-cleaner and it felt like my home took a vacation to ‘cleanliness paradise’ while I just... existed. The best part? Cashback up to £150. I mean, it’s like finding money under the couch but without the sneezing fits. Now, I don't have to worry about dust bunnies plotting a coup under my furniture anymore. Instead, I can just sit back, relax, and pretend I always live like this. And if anyone asks, I’ll say I did it all myself 😉In all seriousness, nothing…
Living with COVID-19 forces us to pay special attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of our home. The health and safety of our families is of the highest priority and window care plays an important role as part of overall hygiene. To make it easier to take care of your home and save time, I recommend paying attention to this window cleaning company. Their professional team cleans windows quickly and efficiently, providing bright light and a clean interior. This is especially true in our time, when we strive to maintain a high level of hygiene.
