HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS DISTRIBUTION:CARITAS HAS AN ESTABLISHED PARTNERSHIP WITH THE WAL-MART RETURN CENTER IN WACO.

SUCH ITEMS CONSIST MOSTLY OF PAPER PRODUCTS SUCH AS TOILET PAPER, PAPER TOWELS, AND DIAPERS, AND OTHER HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS. CARITAS CURRENTLY DISTRIBUTES THESE PRODUCTS TO OVER 200 CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS.
