DeKalb County is holding a toilet paper drive for the metro Atlanta homeless community.
County officials have a goal of collecting 3,000 rolls of toilet paper during the drive, which is sponsored by DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond and in partnership with local nonprofit, Love Rolls.
Thurmond said people immediately think about food and shelter when they want to serve the homeless, but toilet paper “is one of our most basic needs.”
“Love Rolls helps to address this need so that recipients are able to maintain both health safety and their dignity,” Thurmond said in a statement.
