Help Keep San Diego Cool: Home Start’s Hygiene Item Drive

Posted on 07.07.18 by Ashley Dawson

It’s heating up and we could all use a little more deodorant! … Kidding aside, we need your help!

Home Start’s Communities in Action Program (CinA) helps families move toward safety, empowerment, and connection by providing tools and increasing options for self-determination, financial independence, and healthy choices.

Sometimes for families experiencing crisis, the littlest things like soap or a towel can offer the comfort and dignity necessary to get through. At our offices, Home Start staff offer hygiene packs to vulnerable families and individuals.

 

Please send or deliver donated items to the Main Office at 5005 Texas St., Suite 203, San Diego CA 92108 until November 2nd.

 

Shop our Amazon Wishlist

Please visit http://a.co/hBpwBG6 to purchase much-needed hygiene items from our Amazon Wishlist. You can choose from deodorant, shampoo, towels and more.
