United Way of Cayuga County’s Sixth Annual Personal Care Drive ended earlier this month.

Speaking on FLX Morning, Julisa Stone with the group said they’ve collected more items than ever before.

“We are very excited to say this was the most successful drive,” Stone said. “We surpassed our goal this year. We were hoping to collect 5,000 items and we collected 5,005 items.”

COVID was unable to stop the drive; however, it had to be done in a drive-thru-only capacity which impacted contributions. In 2019, the final year before COVID restrictions, 4,490 items were able to be collected.

Businesses and organizations throughout the county set up boxes to collect items. The items are then distributed by CAP to 17 food pantries, shelters, and soup kitchens throughout the county.
