    Shop and Make Family Toiletry Bags

    Any one of any age, any time, any where can volunteer to shop and make Family Toiletry Bags for families.

    Family Toiletry Bags provide families facing a medical crisis, who often arrive at the hospital in an emergency, with personal hygiene products to care for themselves.

    We welcome you to make and donate as many bags as you choose. Thank you for volunteering!

    STEP 1:

    To make 1 Family Toiletry Bag, shop for the items listed below:

    1 body wash (24 oz)

    1 shampoo (18+ oz)

    2 adult toothbrushes

    1 conditioner (18+ oz)

    1 mouthwash (16+ oz)

    1 dental floss (40+ yards)

    1 tube of toothpaste (6 oz)

    1 antibacterial hand soap (3+ oz)

    1 pack of gender neutral razors (2+)

    2 gender neutral scented deodorants (2+ oz)

    2 lip balms

    1 lotion (18+ oz)

    1 bar of soap (3+ oz)

    1 hand sanitizer (8+ oz)

    STEP 2:

    Please tighten caps on bottles to avoid leaks. Neatly place the items into There With Care's green tote bags. Please ask for supplies of green tote bags. Alternatively, use new brown paper grocery bags that have no information or decoration on both sides.

    STEP 3: (Optional)

    Include a handwritten, decorated, There With Care printed note card in each bag. Please ask for supplies of printed note cards.

    On the note card, write the name of your family, corporation/business, school or faith/community group.
