DEMAND FOR HYGIENE ESSENTIALS

The need for basic hygiene products in our community is significant. Many families struggle with the cost of these items, the limited availability through assistance organizations, and the lack of coverage by government support programs.


At Community Supply Closet, we strive to provide period supplies and essential hygiene products to our partner agencies, who ensure these items reach the people who need them most.
 

With your support, we’re able to provide the everyday essentials that many people take for granted, such as period supplies, deodorant, soap, toothpaste, and more. None of these items are covered by federal assistance programs such as SNAP or WIC.
 

Research shows that one in three low-income American families struggles to afford basic non-food household goods, including personal care products. When families can’t access these essentials, they often resort to coping strategies like brushing teeth without toothpaste or washing without soap — actions that can lead to serious health and wellness concerns.
 

By providing these essential products, we help ensure that everyone in our community can meet their most basic human needs with dignity and care.
