Again this year, our Teen Health Center closes during school winter break. When school is in session, the Teen Health Center provides free hygiene products to all of our students. When our Teen Health Center closes along with the school hours, students in need may experience a gap in these resources. As we did successfully last year, we are organizing another hygiene product, food, and clothing drive for West Seattle High School students. With the help of West Seattle families and students, our goal is to assemble even more care packages this year.

Care packages will include new toothbrushes, bars of soap, socks, granola bars, and hand sanitizer, for example. Last winter, we were able to go beyond just hygiene products and also accept donations of non-perishable foods and warm clothing from our contributors, helping us assemble a total of 80 care packages!

Details about the donation collecting events:

Here are the hygiene products we are looking for:
– unopened hand sanitizer
– unopened protein bars/granola bars/snacks
– packaged masks
