If you’ve ever gone a few days without showering, you know what it’s like to feel sticky and grimy. You actually feel like a new person after a nice hot, soapy shower.
Imagine not being able to take that shower or brush your teeth. For a day. Two days. Or even a week.
Imagine not having shampoo to wash your hair. Or, soap to wash your hands.Imagine not being able to wear deodorant or being able to shave. Imagine not having access to feminine hygiene products.
Imagine not having the basics.
When people don’t have access to these basic products, many consequences develop ranging from unemployment to serious diseases. We take things like toothpaste or a bar of soap for granted but so many are without.
Often people experiencing homelessness will use a local shelter or a day center for their hygiene needs. However, access isn’t necessarily guaranteed and there are times that they will not be able to bathe due to overcrowding and/or the shortage of resources.
Having their very own personal Hygiene Freaks hygiene kit will allow them to maintain their hygiene needs until it’s their turn at the shower.
