Need
Provide comfort, dignity, and a warm welcome to individuals transitioning into local emergency shelters. For neighbors experiencing homelessness, access to personal care items is a vital first step toward health and stability. By packing a portable travel hygiene bag, you ensure new shelter residents have the essential grooming supplies they need from day one.
More Details
his is a wonderful, highly flexible project for individuals, families, or groups to assemble at home. For this opportunity, you will gather essential, travel-sized personal care items and pack them into a portable drawstring bag or zipper toiletry pouch.
Estimated Cost: Approx. $20 – $30 per completed kit (Based on local Southern California retail pricing for travel/trial-sized items and a basic pouch).
Frequency: This is a constant, high-priority, ongoing need! Feel free to assemble multiple kits if you or your group are looking for a larger impact project.
