Through a network of over 100 schools throughout Chicago, we support thousands of students facing hygiene insecurity.
We work with our school partners to provide care closets full of health and hygiene items. The closets are stocked three times a year to ensure students always have access to everyday necessities.
The following is just a sample of items:
Personal hygiene
Dental hygiene
Socks and underwear
Hats and gloves
Feminine hygiene
First aid supplies
Simple. Students are our future.
Data shows close to 15% of all Chicago Public School students will experience homelessness at some point in their education.
By keeping kids in school and conveying dignity and grace, who knows what future leaders we may be cultivating?
If we want to see equity and diversity within our universities and workplaces, we need to start supporting students facing adversity at the most basic level.
