2021-2022 meeting student's basic needs

With this wish list, I am hoping to collect items that are considered basic needs, such as hygiene, household, mental and physical health needs. Our youth is our future, and we are having an increased number of youth in our communities that do not have the needs that everyone should have access too. As a childhood abuse survivor myself, it can be embarrassing to go to school or community events and not have clean clothes, deodorant or even food. To hear the rumbles in your stomach, and be too scared to ask for help. Even prior to becoming a Social Worker, I set a life goal to help those in need. I have continued to donate my time and money to providing these to individuals I serve or even those I have crossed paths with along the way. I will be collecting these items to distribute to the students in our community. For Food products, These are items we can use at all times. We provide snacks and meals during the school day and try to send home weekend bags with the kids. I only put a quanity of one to start out with, but again these are items we can use. For feminine products, we do offer those during school hours, but I would like to make bags to send home for weekends, ect. AS far as laundry goes, we also offer to launder their clothes/items if need be. A lot of items I would like to be able to help supply to families, but also some in person use while in the program.
