Tooth brushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, soap, shampoo, shaving cream and razors, and deodorant. Please consider purchasing bulk rice or beans (5, 10, 20 & 50 pounds bags are the most common sizes).
Clothing: . . . for males and females — all ages, all sizes. This includes but is not limited to all sizes of shirts, blouses, pants, dresses, jackets, and light coats. Ensure clothing is serviceable and clean. Please no personal items, undergarments, socks, shoes, or gloves unless donated in an unused condition.
Prohibited: Soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, candy, opened containers, frozen foods, fresh produce, housewares to include linens, glassware, pots or pans, bedding or blankets.

VOLUNTEERS AT EPIPHANY CATHEDRAL
| Are you a volunteer (or want to be) for Epiphany Cathedral? The Diocese of Venice is in the process of implementing a new volunteer management system called Volgistics for all our wonderful parish volunteers. The first step in using this system is to have all volunteers complete a simple application. We ask that you please take a few minutes to complete the on-line application to assist us in building our database. Thank you to the over 200 Epiphany Cathedral volunteers who have already completed their application. The DOV Volunteer Application can be found on our website, epiphanycathedral.org, under the Ministries tab, or click here: Volgistics Volunteer Application. The process should only take a few minutes, but if you need any assistance, please contact Coleen Curlett, Director of Ministries and Communication at 941-615-0292.
