Host a Personal Care Drive

Help our neighbors feel cared for, confident, and supported by collecting everyday hygiene essentials. Personal care products are items many families need but may not always be able to purchase when budgets are tight.

A personal care drive is a simple and meaningful project for classrooms, workplaces, youth groups, clubs, families, and community partners. These items help Rise provide dignity and comfort to individuals and families throughout our community.

Great items to collect:
Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, razors, shaving cream, lotion, combs, brushes, hair ties, washcloths, hand soap, tissues, and travel-size hygiene items.

Helpful tips:
Full-size items are especially helpful when possible. All items should be new, unopened, and unused. Consider creating hygiene kits in resealable bags for an easy service project.

Donations are accepted 7 days a week and no appointment is necessary.
