Hygiene Essentials Drive April 1 – 30, 2024
Robin Pisz, leader, with great assistance by Candace Guldeman
Our Hygiene Essentials Drive (formerly known as Toiletries Drive) runs from April 1 – 30, 2024. This is our 7th year of collecting Hygiene Essentials for our community in need. Robin and Candace are hoping to go BIG this year! They have enlisted many people to be drop off locations and collectors. Womenaders have been terrific supporters of this drive for the last six years and hope you all will be again!
Hygiene poverty is not being able to afford many of the everyday hygiene and personal grooming products most of us take for granted. Poor hygiene and hand washing cause sickness and disease. Poor hygiene can also cause social rejection and may also lead to bullying, low confidence and low self-esteem. One in three families has difficulty affording personal hygiene products. . People using Cal Fresh (California’s Food Stamps) cannot use it to purchase toiletries. Hygiene essentials are the most requested need after food!
f you would like to sign up to help with the sorting, please let us know. sslocwomenade@gmail.com May 1 and 2 starting at 9 and May 3 and 4 for dividing up the collections among 25 agencies; May 6 delivery drivers at 9 am.
