Donate Hygiene Kits

Description

YOUR ACTIVITY: Create hygiene kits for our participants transitioning out of homelessness.  Purchase the items yourself or host a drive, then assemble the items into kits.

YOUR IMPACT: We help over 11,000 people a year and most of them are in need of basics like shampoo, soap, toothpaste, etc.  So we go through a lot of hygiene kits!  Your donation of these kits helps these folks to not only stay clean and healthy, but also to uphold their dignity.
