Helping Students Stay Fresh

Help me give my students Supplies to stay clean and healthy. Some of them don’t have access to deodorant or extra clothes to change into. They have to sit through the of the day feeling sweaty or self-conscious.

My Project

Our students are active and always on the move, especially during gym. But many don’t have access to basic hygiene supplies. After class, some of them go through the rest of the day feeling sweaty, uncomfortable, or self-conscious.

I want to make sure they have what they need to feel better—things like deodorant, a brush to fix their hair, a little lotion for dry skin, or a pad when they need one.

These small things can go a long way in helping students feel more like themselves.

This project is about care and confidence. It’s about helping kids feel good enough to focus on learning, not on what they’re missing.

No one should have to worry about their appearance or smell when they’re trying to learn. But for some of our students, those worries are real. They’ve asked for help quietly or tried to solve it on their own, but it’s clear they need support. I want them to know someone sees them, cares about their comfort, and wants them to feel okay in their own skin.

A few simple supplies in the right place at the right time can change a day. Thank you for being part of that change.
