Project Open Hand collects and shares toiletries with our clients, many of whom struggle to afford basic needs. Get involved by organizing a toiletries drive at your school, workplace, church, or gym.
“Many of our clients have very limited income or no income at all, and some are homeless. They struggle to afford basic necessities, so providing them with a care package of toiletries is greatly appreciated and can brighten their day,” says Elle Garner, Project Open Hand’s volunteer coordinator.
