For those who are unable to drop off on Thursday, Show Low City Hall will also accept donations Monday through Wednesday, June 8 through 10, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Items needed include bleach, cleaning supplies, hand sanitizers, disinfectant wipes, gloves, hand soap or liquid soap, masks or cloth masks, trash bags, bottled water, paper products (paper towels and toilet paper), mop heads/mops, brooms, rags, laundry soap, baby diapers, dustpans, Gatorade and food boxes. We ask our citizens to consider donating any of the items on the list to help our good friends on the White Mountain Apache Reservation.

All items collected at both locations will be distributed to our neighbors in need on the White Mountain Apache Reservation. For more information, call (928) 532-4000.
