We try to provide basic hygiene products aimed for our homeless clients to include the following.
- Tooth paste
- Tooth brushes
- Small wash cloths
- Small bath soaps
- Shampoo and conditioner (in small containers like you get at hotels) and regular sizes too
- Deodorants
- Feminine products
- Combs, brushes

We build small zip lock type bags that can be put in a back pack for them to use a little more conveniently. The above items can be costly and is usually the last thing on a list as a “need” behind food and shelter.
