Hygiene Kit Program

About the Program

Hygiene products are necessary items for our daily life. However, buying those products take up a large amount of the monthly budget which we utilize to service underserved community members. In order to provide important items to our community, SNIWWOC received generous donations of items from Procter & Gamble.

The hygiene kit package includes: shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste, sanitary pads, soap, and deodorant.

The Hygiene kit is available thanks to generous donations from Procter & Gamble support from GlobalMedic & Soap For Hope Canada.
