Our focus–alleviation of HYGIENE POVERTY.

Our current program—Healthy Essentials Pantry—is providing personal care and household cleaning products to those in need. Feeding America in their research project “found that many American families struggle to afford basic non-food household goods—including products related to personal care, household care and baby care—and, as a result, make trade-offs with other living expenses and employ coping strategies to secure essential household goods ... Federal nutrition assistance programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), focus only on food items, so there is a need for other creative strategies to help families afford non-food goods that are just as important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.”[1] Our Healthy Essentials Pantry Program (mobile & brick-and-mortar) is that creative strategy.
