We are collecting hygiene supplies to assemble hygiene kits for individuals facing homelessness. Your kindness and generosity in donating these items will help provide essential supplies that many individuals might otherwise go without. Every contribution—big or small—makes a meaningful difference. These hygiene kits will help people maintain their health, dignity, and well-being during difficult times.
We will then be assembling hygiene kits for individuals in the Waukesha Community who are facing homelessness on April 10th. Learn more and register here. Individuals will receive these kits through the Stone Soup Project at one of their dinner services.

Impact
Collecting hygiene items for individuals facing homelessness has a meaningful and immediate impact on their health, dignity, and well-being. For many, having hygiene supplies can make it easier to attend job interviews, access services, and interact with others without the added stress of lacking basic care items. By coming together to collect and distribute these supplies, communities show compassion, provide practical support, and remind individuals experiencing homelessness that they are seen, valued, and supported.
