🌟 Help Support Families in our service area with Hygiene & Cleaning Supplies! 🌟

At Lakewood Area Collaborative we believe every family should have the basics they need to thrive—and you can help make that happen!

We’ve created an easy Amazon “wish list” filled with hygiene and cleaning supplies for families living in the 44107, 44116, 44126, 44135, 44140, 44145 and 44111 ZIP codes. Whether it’s soap, shampoo, laundry detergent or cleaning sprays—each item you purchase goes directly toward helping a family in our community.

đź›’ How you can help:

Visit our Amazon list:
https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/2VKK47IE0X6D3?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_ggr-subnav-share_F6JKH8GT1D40WNF1EKJ0_1

Choose one (or more!) items you’d like to purchase

Amazon ships it straight to us, and we distribute to families in need

It’s that simple — even a small purchase can make a big difference! 💙

Why it matters:

Families who are already managing so much shouldn’t have to choose between essentials and other priorities.

Clean, safe homes support healthier children, stronger communities, and more stability.

Your generosity sends a powerful message: “You matter. We see you. We care.”

🙏 We’re so grateful for any support you can share—please also feel free to share this post so others in our network can help spread the word. Thank you for standing with Lakewood families!

With gratitude,
The Team at Lakewood Area Collaborative
