DIGNITY SHOULDN’T BE A LUXURY: HELP FIGHT HYGIENE POVERTY
I witness the daily struggle and negative impacts that lack of access to proper hygiene products has on our students. We are seeing the effects of hygiene insecurity in schools.

Everyone deserves to feel clean and confident
Hygiene is more than cleanliness. It is having the right items that allow you to care for your physical health, feel comfortable and empower well-being. But many in our community struggle to afford these items.
Hygiene poverty is a hidden issue impacting millions. Many families have to choose between putting food on the table or buying basic hygiene products. This lack of access can have serious consequences, impacting physical and mental health, job opportunities and social interactions.
Did you know that nearly 1 in 10 Twin Cities food shelf shoppers miss school, work or a community activity because they can’t afford personal hygiene products?*
Your donation helps bridge that gap. We partner with schools, food shelves and community nonprofits to distribute essential hygiene products to those struggling – restoring dignity and promoting well-being.
