Fresh Start Personal Hygiene Kits

Many who come to the Mission everyday do not have access to personal hygiene products, so it is helpful to be able to supply them with a Fresh Start Personal Hygiene kit.  The kits are easy to assemble and make a great project for a group.  To compose the kits, just start with a quart-size re-sealable plastic sandwich bag, and add any of the following:

• Travel-size tissue pack
• Travel-size disposable hand wipes
• Disposable razor
• Travel-size shaving cream
• Travel-size hand lotion
• Travel-size bar of soap
• Travel-size cotton swabs or 2-3 cotton swabs
• Travel size antibacterial ointment
• 2-3 adhesive bandages
• Small washcloth
• Pair of white athletic socks
• Small bottle of water or juice

Be creative and customize your kits!  You can even add a Scripture verse or words of encouragement on an index-size card if you like.
