Thanks to donors, the Helping Center in Sallisaw is now swimming in suds, the center’s co-directors, Martha Billings, left, and MaryLynn Lufkin said. They explained that the Helping Center gives each person who comes to the center a hygiene bag, which includes enough laundry soap to do two loads of laundry. The center was nearly out of laundry soap when the call went out for suds help. Lufkin said the soap donations will help fill the hygiene bags for several months. But the need continues, and the center is out of toddler diapers, sizes four through six. The center is open from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Monday through Friday and can take donations then. The need of the week — large diapers — may also be dropped off at Your TIMES between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Linda Copeland • TIMES

A food drive will be conducted by the Ki Bois Area Transit System (KATS) in Sallisaw on Wednesday and Thursday.

KATS drivers will accept one non-perishable food product for a ride on the bus rather than the usual $1 fee for a bus ride.

KATS officials said they are hoping to collect a lot of canned goods and non-perishable food items for Catholic Charities. The foods will be used to fill up the Christmas baskets that Catholic Charities gives to those in need.

Anyone who needs a ride but doesn’t have a food item will pay the regular fee.

The canned-goods collection will only be held on Wednesday and Thursday, KATS personnel said.
