At a benefit for Covenant House and Eden House April 9, "Cakeup for a Cause" organizers will collect toiletries and cosmetics for the groups which provide support to women, young people and children experiencing homelessness or who have been victims of human trafficking. Organizers Caitrin Gladow, Carolyn Scofield and Rachel Strassel are asking for*travel size toiletries such as shampoos, deodorants and toothpaste; makeup samples; baby wipes; and individually wrapped pads and tampons.
