The Toledo-Lucas County Health Department has partnered with Youth for Change, to host a Youth Personal Hygiene Drive. Many young individuals within our neighborhoods don’t have the funds to obtain daily personal hygiene items. With the help of the community, we can assist our youth and provide a few of these things. The following items are being collected:
- Deodorant
- Sandwich Bags
- Sanitary pads
- Small Hand Sanitizer
- Toothbrushes
- Toothpaste
- Tampons
- Travel Size Hygiene Bags
- Wipes
We ask that items please be new and unopened. The first segment of the Hygiene Drive will run September 17th thru October 31st. Collection boxes are at the following locations:
- Black Kite Coffee 2499 Collingwood Blvd, Toledo
- Frederick Douglass Community Center 1001 Indiana Ave, Toledo
- Toledo-Lucas County Health Department 635 N. Erie Street, Toledo
As items are collected, kits will be assembled and given to youth who are in need. To become a collection site or to request kits, please call 419-405-1455.
