The 2024 Help for the Homeless Hygiene drive is February 11th – March 3rd.
The Family’s annual ‘Help for the Homeless’ hygiene drive partners with the community to help stock the shelves of 100+ homeless and crisis programs in 19 Wisconsin communities. The goal of the program is the supply a year’s worth of products to each agency. Donations remain in the community they come from.
In 2023, generous community members at 900+ businesses, churches, and schools hosted collection boxes and donated $665,000 worth of laundry soap, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, etc. to their local crisis programs. View 2023 highlights in our thank you video.
DONATE SUPPLIES AT FESTIVAL FOODS & WALGREENS
Purchase new, unused hygiene and cleaning supplies and drop them off at the boxes located at participating stores. Boxes are typically found near the entrance or check-out areas of the store.
Most urgent needs include:
