Clean and Confident: Supporting Student Hygiene Post-PE

My Project

I am reaching out to request your support for an important need in our gym program.

After participating in physical education activities, many of our students would benefit greatly from having access to fresh and clean t-shirts to change into.

This small but meaningful item helps them stay comfortable, confident, and focused for the rest of their school day.

We are seeking donations of new t-shirts in various sizes that can be provided to students who may not have the resources to bring a change of clothes after gym class. Your contribution would make a positive difference in their daily experience and well-being.
