💚 WHAT IS THE FRESH START STUDENT WELLNESS KIT?
Fresh Start is a year-round student wellness initiative created by the Healthy Habits Foundation to help local students feel prepared, confident, encouraged, and cared for both in school and in everyday life.
We believe supporting a student goes beyond school supplies. Sometimes a student needs the everyday essentials that help them walk into school feeling comfortable and ready to focus.
That’s why Fresh Start focuses on the whole student:
🪥 BODY — personal-care and hygiene essentials
📚 MIND — books that encourage reading, learning, and imagination
❤️ HEART — encouragement cards and positive messages that remind students they are seen and supported
🍎 HEALTH — convenient snacks and hydration
✝️ FAITH — small New Testaments when appropriate and permitted
Fresh Start is not just a back-to-school giveaway.
✨ Donations are accepted year-round.
✨ Wellness kits can be distributed year-round.
✨ The initiative is powered by our community.
Our goal is to build relationships with local schools, counselors, daycares, churches, youth programs, shelters, and community organizations so that Fresh Start kits can reach students when they are actually needed.
We also want every student who receives a kit to receive it with dignity. These bags are meant to feel like thoughtful gifts… not something that labels or embarrasses a child.
