Richmond, VA Grades 6-8

My Project

Many students visit our school office each day for more than just academic support- Sometimes they need basic personal care items that help them feel clean, comfortable, and confident throughout the school day.

This project will provide essential hygiene supplies that students frequently request, including deodorant, hygiene wipes, lotion, tissues, toothbrushes, and hair care items.

These simple products can make a big difference for students who may not have consistent access to them at home or who need them unexpectedly during the school day.

The requested items will be stored in the school office and distributed discreetly to students as needs arise throughout the year. By supporting this project, you are helping ensure that students have access to basic necessities that promote dignity, confidence, and readiness to learn.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
