This October, our incredible partner Bridge to Basics is shining a light on an often-overlooked need: hygiene insecurity. Access to everyday hygiene essentials — things like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, menstrual products, deodorant, and other personal care items — is an important part of health, dignity, confidence, and overall well-being. Yet for many individuals and families, these essentials can be difficult to afford when household budgets are already stretched thin.

At Project for Pride in Living (PPL), we’re grateful for our partnership with Bridge to Basics and the difference their work makes for the residents, participants, and students we serve. Their commitment to making hygiene essentials more accessible helps ensure that people don’t have to choose between basic personal care and other necessities. We’re proud to recognize Bridge to Basics this month and thank them for being such a meaningful partner in our community. 💙

As the season changes from summer to fall, one of PPL's favorite events is right around the corner: People Of Color Career Fair! Next Tuesday, 10/13, Twin Cities professionals will meet downtown at the Minneapolis Convention Center to network with Minnesota's top employers.

PPL has been a proud partner of the Career Fair over its 10-year run. As an employer participant, we get to connect with hundreds of talented people — like our Associate Director of Strategic Initiatives, Gaith Hijazin, who we met at the spring Career Fair! Gaith recently shared his experience with the event, advice he'd give to others who are considering attending and why he's passionate about PPL on our blog.

In partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities (BBBS) Free Arts, our Camden Youth Program focused on basic cooking safety, food preparation, nutrition, and building confidence in the kitchen last month.

Sessions were led by Sierra Carter, the founder of HEAL Mpls, an innovative plant-based cafe and community healing space. PPL volunteers and BBBS volunteers assisted teens throughout the four-week opportunity.

A fresh coat of paint can do so much more than brighten a room, it can help create a space where people feel welcomed, valued and at home. Shane’s Crew recently brought their time, talent, and a whole lot of heart to PPL — revitalizing not one, but two spaces for our residents and community!

These projects take teamwork, dedication, attention to detail, and plenty of sweat equity. But the impact lasts long after the paint dries. When teams invest their time into beautifying PPL spaces, they help create environments that feel cared for and worthy of the people who live, learn and gather in them.

Thank you Shane’s Crew for rolling up your sleeves and making a difference! Not only did this team paint two spaces, but they provided furniture, decor, games, books and more! We are incredibly grateful for your hard work, energy, and commitment to our PPL community.
