Dan Donkers, fundraising coordinator with Gateway, said the organization鈥檚 supply tends to fluctuate and run low.
鈥淲e open up the washrooms on Tuesday and Fridays afternoons for people who are still homeless or may not be staying with us because we don鈥檛 have room,鈥� Donkers said. 鈥淭his way, they can use the facilities and borrow a towel, but they do tend to disappear quite quickly.鈥�
