For many homeless individuals, days or even weeks may pass without having access to hygiene products.

Shampoo, body wash, a toothbrush - such simple things - we don't realize how important something is, and how grateful for until we no longer have.

To people who are unhoused, being able to shower, wash your hair, and brush your teeth can restore dignity. Providing someone with a hygiene kit could help them prepare for a job interview, or meeting with an employer. These kits also help provide preventive health care. For instance, providing a toothbrush can keep the mouth and gums healthy, especially when a person is unable to get professional dental care.

Volunteers packing hygiene kits for those who need them most.

These kits may also go to teens in foster care who may be moving from home to home, to those who have suffered through a natural disaster, or to people experiencing financial stress and could use the extra help.

These goods, while small can make a huge impact in the life of someone in need. 

A kit for a MAN may include, depending on need, toothpaste, a toothbrush, a toothbrush cover, deodorant, a comb, shave cream, a razor, shampoo and conditioner and a cosmetic travel bag.

A kit for a WOMAN may include, depending on need, shampoo, conditioner, a comb, deodorant, a toothbrush, toothpaste, small pack of floss, lotion, feminine supplies (not pictured) and a cosmetic travel bag.

Do the most good and send one kit for a MAN & a WOMAN!

Impact Stories

Through the donations of Good Packs and other human-based products, we were able to get critical hygiene items and daily essentials into the hands of some of our community’s front-line partners, including the Opportunity Center, Center Against Sexual and Family Violence, El Paso Community College, El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank, and many others. The need in our region is tremendous — so much so that the full delivery was cleared within days. This shows just how urgent the demand is, and how much our neighbors rely on this kind of support. Your generosity helps us stretch resources further, serve more people, and build a stronger, more resilient community together. Tess Passero Ottobre (Program Officer)
