2024 Hygiene Bag Giveaway

Hygiene Bag Donation, October 19, 2024, New York, NY

Spero's Hope, together with Rising Ground's Family Resource Center, donates 300 bags of hygiene products to residents of the Bronx

On the back of our successful hygiene bag giveaway in 2023, Spero's Hope teamed up with Family Resource Center, a program of Rising Ground, to donate a variety of hygiene products to residents of the Bronx.

Without public and private assistance programs, many families struggle to purchase hygiene products. Hygiene poverty affects the education children receive as they are more likely to miss school and less likely to effectively build social circles. Moreover, it can prevent adults from finding employment and lead to performance warnings when good hygiene is required on the job.

As part of our annual outreach to our community, Spero's Hope donated hygiene bags to 300 families in the Bronx. The bags included toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, deodorant, laundry detergent, and a number of other hygiene products.

We thank Rising Ground for their continued partnership and logistical support, and we are grateful to their Family Resource Center initiative for securing product to give away. We also thank Abraham House for the use of their facility and their assistance in receiving, packaging, and distributing the products. Employees from all organizations helped the Spero's Hope team make this event a big success!
