Hygiene Kits for the Homeless

District 19-B is creating Hygiene Kits for the Homeless…

using all those eyeglass cases that we collect when we gather used eyeglasses.  We will have a work party at the District 19-B Convention on May 5th at the Hilton Garden Inn in Bothell to assemble the kits.  They will then be distributed to the public at the Project Homeless Connect in Everett in July.  We hope to make at least 1,000 of these kits.

You can help by gathering some of the items we need to fill the kits.  You may have some of these items in your linen closet at home right now!

Here are some of the items we need:

Child-sized toothbrush (The Dollar Store has these at 3 for $1)

Small sample sized toothpaste (Ask your dentist!  Ours donated 2 large boxes!!)

Small soap (like hotel give-aways)

Small shampoo (like hotel give-aways)

Individually wrapped wet wipes (can get these at KFC or Ivars)

Emery Boards (The Dollar Store has these at a good price)

Small ball-point pen (Need a good resource for these)

Small dental floss (Dentist?)

Small hand sanitizer

Small deodorant / antiperspirant (individual packets)

Small tissues or razors

Note that some of the items near the end of the list are optional and we will fit them in only if we can.  We will also accept cash donations made out to Lions District B to help us purchase these items at the best price we can find.

We hope to see lots of you at the conference for this very special work party!!
