Breaking Barriers: Supporting Students with Essential Hygiene Supplies

Breaking Barriers: Supporting Students with Essential Hygiene Supplies

Good health starts with access to essential resources—including basic hygiene supplies. That’s why we are proud to partner with Communities In Schools of Greater King County for their 2025 Hygiene Drive, helping ensure that students have the items they need to feel clean, confident, and ready to learn.

Many students face barriers to consistent access to hygiene products, which can impact their well-being and school experience. This year’s drive focuses on collecting full-sized (no travel sizes) essentials like shampoo and conditioner (with a special need for ethnic haircare products), body wash, feminine hygiene supplies, and laundry detergent. With your support, we can make a direct impact on students in our community by providing these much-needed items. See the full list of needs below:

  • Feminine hygiene (tampons, pads)
  • Lotion
  • Shampoo/conditioner (ethnic haircare highly needed)
  • Gel
  • Brushes/combs
  • Life control products
  • Baby wipes, shampoo, and lotion
  • Diapers (sizes 4, 5, 6)
  • Toothbrush/toothpaste/floss/mouthwash
