A Hand Up. Not A Hand Out

A Hand Up. Not A Hand Out We help those in need of hygiene items in St Joseph, Mo. Items can be obtained at “The Hygiene Spot” All items are free of charge.

This is a grassroots effort to assist the homeless or those in need, with hygiene products. We are run solely on donations to meet the needs of those in our area. Items that we will be distributing are: Toothpaste, Toothbrushes, Shampoo, Body Wash/Soap, Deodorant, Combs, Monthly Menstrual products, etc. This will be an ongoing effort, so donations are always needed and greatly appreciated! If you are in need of hygiene items please send us a message! If you would like to donate please send a message and arrangements will be made to pick up your donation or provide a drop off location. We also have an Amazon Wish List. Also please share with your friends, family, church group, women's group or anyone you think would like to help us in our endeavor. At this time we are NOT a 501(c)(3) nor do we have a nonprofit designation, so donations may not be tax deductible.
