Members, guests, and even lab administration need regular restocks of some basic supplies to keep going.

Reimbursement

Members can purchase and donate these basic supplies at any time, and we are grateful!

In some circumstances we can reimburse purchases, with some requirements:

Reimbursement is not guaranteed so these purchases are made at the member's own risk.

Supplies

Here's some info on supplies we need regularly:

Paper towels
- Towel dispensers take industrial hardwound (not center-pull) towels, 7.75 to 8 inches wide. Both 600 and 800-foot rolls have worked in the past.
- Because roll length and number of rolls per box vary, it's best to calculate cost per foot (not square foot, as all compatible towels will be about 8 inches wide).
- Brands that have worked previously:
  - GEN (Amazon, $0.0077 per foot)
  - First Street (Smart & Final, $0.0083 per foot)
Toilet paper
Hand Soap
- Dispensers have previously been stocked with Maker's Mark Foaming Antibacterial Hand Soap 1000ml "bag in box" refills.
- This brand may be the only kind of refill compatible with the bathroom dispensers, due to the shape of the nozzle and the way it clips into the dispenser.
- The only direct seller of Member's Mark brand is Sam's Club. If you see Member's Mark elsewhere, it's being sold by a third-party reseller, probably at a significant markup.
