WE HELP NONPROFITS DO MORE BY BRIDGING THE HYGIENE GAP
Bridge to Basics allows nonprofits to focus on fueling their missions to amplify impact.
How we do it
01
Nonprofit partners identify their needs
We work with nonprofits in the Twin Cities who serve hygiene insecure populations and need the products that we offer.
02
Our network sources and collects items
We provide requested personal hygiene products to nonprofit partners.
03
Nonprofits stock their shelves
Nonprofits distribute products through their existing resources and infrastructure in ways that work for them.
TOGETHER, WE SUPPORT THRIVING COMMUNITIES.
what are essential hygiene products?
Bridge to Basics secures a baker’s dozen of personal care products. These products are essential for maintaining good hygiene and health, but can be expensive and difficult to obtain for low-income individuals and families because they are not covered by SNAP, WIC or other benefit programs.
- Body Wash
- Hand Soap
- Shampoo
- Conditioner/Hair Milk/Oils/Detangler
- Deodorant
- Toothpaste
- Toothbrush
- Razors
- Lotion (including sunscreen)/Vaseline/Shaving
- Laundry Detergent/Laundry & Dryer Sheets/DryerBalls
- Diapers/Wipes/Incontinence Supplies (Infant, Child, Adult)

We recognize that hygiene care is personal and endeavor to build a robust and diverse product inventory that is ethnically and culturally inclusive, as well as addresses health sensitivities.
