As they travel, members of Congregation Emanuel pick up the complimentary bottles of shampoo and other toiletries provided by their hotels. They have set up a collection box at the synagogue and donate the items collected to a homeless shelter. Shelters welcome unopened trial-sized toiletries, as residents of overnight shelters must carry all of their possessions with them every day.
