fellow ny soapmakers,
Can you tell me if there are any special county, state permits I need to make soap at home for sales? I know there are cottage laws that allow homebakers to get a permit to sell. Is it the same for soaps and body products?

What a great idea. I should have something to send along. I sometimes make soap for my local food pantry; hygiene products are always a necessity.

What a great opportunity to help those less fortunate than ourselves! Donating to the needy is such a rewarding experience. If you want to ‘make your day’, donate to those in need! This is a worthwhile program; Catholic charities tend to focus on women and children (in my experience). I’m guessing that’s where these donations will go and you certainly can’t go wrong helping children and women!

I like how The United Way, Catholic Charities and Achieve NY are keeping the memory of Sept 11 alive. It has brought back so many memories of that day and how we pulled together as a nation.

HSMG collaborates with my local United Way for a worthy cause! Local soapmakers in the Greater Binghamton area can drop off soaps at my Soap Studio as a drop off point and ACHIEVE will pick up our soap here!
