HYGIENE KIT SUPPLY DRIVE
When people are displaced, staying in an evacuation center, or recovering from an emergency, basic hygiene items can make a meaningful difference. A toothbrush, soap, deodorant, a clean washcloth and other basic necessities may seem simple, but they help restore comfort, dignity, and routine during a difficult moment.
Please check out our Amazon wishlist for a list of the items we are collecting for our hygiene kits. These kits are one of the most practical ways to we can prepare before urgent needs arise.
