My Project

This project provides fundamental toiletries like: toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, water bottles and deodorant. These items are vital for students, as not every student has access to these items at home.

The students benefiting from this project might not have the financial means to buy hygiene products and access to them will allow them to feel confident.

These items are available to students who are experiencing homelessness or their families are financially struggling to obtain necessary hygiene products at home. By allowing our students access to these items, we are directly impacting their ability to feel comfortable and confident while at school.
