9,000+ Hygiene Kits Distributed to Those in Need!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our Members, employees, business partners, the Credit Union, and the Frontwave Foundation, our 2025 Hygiene for Humanity Drive was a tremendous success! Together, we assembled and donated more than 9,000 hygiene kits to support individuals and families in need across four counties.

These essential kits will be distributed through eight nonprofit organizations across Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego Counties, ensuring help reaches those who need it most.

Why It Matters

Nearly 20,000 people across Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties experience homelessness or housing insecurity. For many, even basic hygiene essentials - like a clean toothbrush, soap, or deodorant - are out of reach. Access to these essentials can make a world of difference. Basic hygiene promotes physical health, restores dignity, and can open doors to employment and stability. When someone feels clean, they feel human again - and that’s often the first step toward hope and opportunity.
