Success stories

I want to share with you just how impactful our Hygiene Hub has already been. Not only have several students been able to take items that allow them to feel more secure in their hygiene but recently one of our families suffered a catastrophe. Though the family is physically safe they now need many items most take for granted. By making use of what the United Way provided in our Hygiene Hub we were able to support their immediate needs and allow them some (even though a relatively small amount of) financial breathing room. To say that this addition to our supports has been timely is a huge understatement! Thank you for your dedication to the project and for bringing to our community compassionate, respectful, support.
