Project Hygiene Closet
The mission of the Project Hygiene Closet Program is to provide youth with new, unused toiletries and deliver two bullying prevention workshops during the 2025–2026 school year. Our goal is to help students feel confident both inside and out. Poor hygiene can negatively impact self-esteem, and we are committed to uplifting students, combating bullying, and creating a safe space for them to access essential items.
​
We supply toiletries such as lotion, toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, soap, deodorant, sanitary napkins, and pocket tissues. By establishing hygiene closets directly within schools, students have discreet and convenient access to these basic necessities—items that many may otherwise go without.
​
Each participating school will also receive a Project Hygiene Bullying Prevention Workshop, either during National Bullying Prevention Month in October or through a Spring session, tailored to reinforce our message of self-care and respect.
​
We request that schools give an accurate account of how many students are enrolled and that counselors and teachers provide feedback to Project Hygiene as to what they are seeing as current needs at their school and with their students. Each school will receive an anonymous survey once the closet program is set up.
Any child who is enrolled at your school from the ages of 10-18. The program is closed to the public.

The Donation Timeline
Since the inception of the Project Hygiene Toiletry Closet Program in 2021, we have proudly serviced 20 schools.
​
Project Hygiene partners with schools to establish a dedicated closet, cabinet, or locker stocked with essential hygiene products. We will continue to support each school with toiletries throughout the 2025–2026 school year.
​
During each visit, we allocate between 500 to 1,500 toiletries, depending on the size and needs of the school.
