The following is a list of helpful items: Chewable vitamins (adult and children). Medical gloves. Feminine hygiene products. Dental hygiene products. First Aid kits. Water bottles. Gently used or new backpacks. Large duffle bags. French English dictionaries. Work out clothes, especially pants and t-shirts. Gym shoes. USB drives. Blank CD's and DVD's.

CTA passes Gift certificates for clothing, shoe, book, electronic, craft, and especially grocery stores. In addition, Expanding Lives is helping two former participants to open a library in their community. The library is in need of gently used or new books in French and children's books in English.
