Are you interested in creating a meaningful gift for families in your community who are struggling?
Build family hygiene care bags!
Did you know that more than half of food shelf shoppers struggle to afford personal hygiene products every month? This is because hygiene items are not covered by government assistance, have limited availability at food shelves (if at all) and are expensive. Let's help address this need buy filling bags for families.
We are looking for businesses, community groups and neighbors to buy full size personal hygiene products and fill grocery bags with them for neighbors struggling to afford hygiene items. These bags will be given to food shelves, schools, housing providers and refugee services organizations.
Please note: This is a remote opportunity that occurs at your preferred location. Your group will be responsible for the purchasing and assembling of the hygiene care bags. We can provide you with suggestions of items based on needs and pricing. We can pick up the bags or you may drop them off at our St. Paul location (280/94).
We ask that each grocery bag be filled with:
- 1 bottle of laundry detergent (free and clear/sensitive skin preferred)
- 2 deodorants
- 1 bottle of shampoo
- 1 bottle of conditioner
- 1 bottle of body wash
- 2 bars of soap
- 4 toothbrushes
- 1 toothpaste
- 2 razors
- 1 bottle of shaving cream
- 1 bottle of lotion
- 4-pack of toilet paper
