A Hygiene Packathon includes the same fun, assembly-line-style process as our food Packathon (and at the same cost!). During a two-hour shift, participants assemble four hygiene items that improve overall health and well-being: a bar of soap, a washcloth, a toothbrush, and five adhesive bandages.
Vulnerable children and those in crisis live in conditions that make maintaining or even practicing good hygiene difficult. Imagine the difference it makes being able to wash your hands with soap, brush your teeth, and clean and cover a wound. Hygiene Packs are designed to help decrease infections, reduce school absences, and improve oral health.
Several of our partners have received Hygiene Packs and have distributed them to children in places like Haiti, Ghana, Sri Lanka, Jamaica, and Ukraine. Hygiene Packs have also gone to help the Rohingya people living in the world’s largest refugee camp.
Your church, business, or school can provide help, hope, and hygiene essentials by hosting a Hygiene Packathon. Reach out to packathon@feedthehunger.org for more information!
