As students reach the upper grades of elementary school, they become more concerned with appearance and grooming. Being happy with how they look and their hygiene is important for their self-confidence and comfort at school. Counselors at the schools we serve have identified the items their students need. In response, we have been providing kits with essential grooming items to our partner schools for distribution to 5th and 6th-grade students in conjunction with their hygiene lessons.
We are celebrating twenty years of ongoing community service with a series of monthly wish lists to help provide some of the basic needs that low-income families struggle to afford. Our August wish list includes personal care items such as deodorant, soap, hair brushes, toothbrushes, and washcloths that will be part of the hygiene kits distributed to partner schools for their upper-grade students, and the zippered bags needed to pack the toiletry items.
