Region - Non-profit agencies throughout the region are seeing their budgets wiped away by the cost of toilet paper, but an unusual drive in Sacramento was organized to alleviate that problem. The United Way of Sacramento is spearheading a toilet paper drive to collect rolls for the region’s nonprofits. Loaves and Fishes, a Sacramento area charity, estimates its spends up to $15,000 per year on toilet paper. The numbers are similar for other charities and food banks providing essential services to the less-fortunate across the Mother Lode. By collecting toilet paper, more money can be allocated for other basic services these organizations provide. More than 140 nonprofits in Sacramento and the surrounding four counties – Amador, El Dorado, Placer, and Yolo - were estimated to benefit from donations received at Golden 1 Credit Union headquarters, Cal Expo main entrance and Folsom High School on Wednesday. The collection goal was 30,000 rolls. Story by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
