TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — The Salvation Army in Tucson began the annual Caring Kits Collection drive where the community can donate hygiene essentials so they can create bags for those in need.

From toothpaste and toothbrushes to chapstick and socks, the Salvation Army is collecting all different items through April 14 at any of their facilities.

“These are some of those essentials that we may take for granted but our guests don’t," Salvation Army's Captain Kristy Church said.

The Salvation Army encourages local businesses, churches and schools to host their own collection drives to help more people donate to the Salvation Army.
