Help for the Homeless Hygiene Drive

We are collecting NEW hygiene and cleaning items for local crisis agencies through The Family Radio’s Help for the Homeless Hygiene Drive from Feb. 22 through March 15. Please place your donations in the Help for the Homeless collection box located by the kiosk sign by March 15. Or make a secure financial donation for the purchase of supplies

at thefamily.net. The Family Radio Network, Inc. partners with area homeless and crisis agencies by inviting participating communities to donate hygiene and cleaning products. These products make it possible for the agencies to dedicate their limited financial resources to provide qualified personnel, education, counseling, safe housing, and

nutritious food to those they serve. Hygiene and cleaning products are not covered by Wisconsin FoodShare (food stamps / SNAP). Some of the most urgently needed items are bathroom tissue, cleaning supplies, dental care, deodorant, diapers/baby care, face/bath soap, feminine care, hair care, laundry detergent, paper towels, razors, and trash bags. Your donations will remain in this community. Thank you! More information available at thefamily.net or 800-236-9364.

A few stories to share:

Access to toiletries and hygiene products isn’t just about meeting basic needs; it also provides a sense of dignity, personal worth, and confidence to families. This drive directly supports their well-being, providing the foundation for a stronger, healthier community. -Community Advocate, Tiny House Village – Oshkosh

Each item donated during the hygiene drive is not just a product; it’s a lifeline that helps those in need maintain hygiene and stability. Your generosity fosters hope and shows people in your community that they are not alone. -Outreach Director, St. Vincent de Paul

Children attending school, not worrying about feeling dirty, means they can hopefully put more focus into learning and just being a kid. These graciously donated products make a world of difference in so many people’s lives.

– Heather Ryan, School Social Worker in the Hortonville Area School District
