Hygiene Bag Initiative
Every three months, our pantry provides hygiene bags to individuals & families when they come to pick up their groceries. These bags are filled with essential household items, personal care products, and small, practical knick-knacks that help meet everyday needs.
This initiative is a meaningful way to support our community beyond food assistance, and we’re working to expand it to serve families more frequently.
We also have a vision to use reusable tote bags for each hygiene kit. These bags promote sustainability and offer families a dignified, practical way to carry their items, and reuse them for future needs.
Together, we can make a lasting impact. If you're interested in partnering with us or learning more, we’d love to connect!
