We are excited to announce our upcoming "JUST" the Basic Needs Hygiene Drive. This drive aims to collect essential hygiene items for youth in foster care, ensuring they have access to the basic necessities they need to thrive. We believe that every child deserves access to the basic essentials for a healthy and dignified life. Unfortunately, many children in foster care face challenges in obtaining these essentials. That's why we're reaching out to you today.

You can make a real difference by joining us in donating hygiene products such as:

Toothbrushes and toothpaste
Soap and body wash
Shampoo and conditioner
Deodorant
Feminine hygiene products
Your contribution, no matter how small, can have a significant impact on the lives of these youth. By providing these essential items, we not only meet their basic needs but also show them that they are valued and supported by their community.

You can drop off items at:
PostNet Macedonia
Mobility Plus Northfield
Macedonia Nutrition
Macedonia Recreation Center - till May 24th
Open Arms Adoptions Kent

Faith Hope Methodist Church
2560 Post Rd. Twinsburg
Saturdays after 1pm
Sundays after 2pm
