Why We Give

This project addresses hygiene insecurity among wildfire victims in California by distributing CARE hygiene kits that provide 2–3 months of essential hygiene supplies to displaced families, youth, and vulnerable individuals. It also educates the public to reframe hygiene poverty as a systemic issue, not a personal failure. Additionally, the project advocates for policy change, such as expanding CalFresh benefits to include hygiene products and maintaining our organization as a long-term hub for hygiene essentials, to create long-term solutions.

We create & give CARE hygiene kits with handwritten notes of kindness to those who are homeless via our volunteer events. Most shelters don't have the budget for these items. Our mission is to help bring systemic change to homelessness by combatting hygiene poverty in expanding hygiene product access to all humans regardless of their socioeconomic status. We believe in changing our community through service, humans, and hygiene. If we focus on our ‘Why’ then we’ll be more driven to achieve the change we seek with ONE act of kindness at a time.

Our goal is to make volunteerism more impactful in our local communities. We do that by creating CARE hygiene kits filled with essential hygiene items for those in need and performing various acts of kindness to uplift our community. The hygiene kits are assembled at our volunteer 'pop up' station at various social events and given to those who are homeless and in need throughout the city of Los Angeles.
