How Simply the Basics is Enhancing Community Health With Grants
At Simply the Basics, we understand the significance of basic hygiene and have made substantial strides in advancing community health and well-being. We are thrilled to share that we have recently provided two hygiene grants to fellow members of our Hygiene Bank Association.
What does this mean? These two grant winners have collectively received thousands of dollars worth of hygiene supplies of their choice!
The goal? To boost their capacity to serve the community better and advance our shared mission of promoting health and dignity through improved hygiene.
One of our primary initiatives through the Hygiene Bank Association is to provide grant opportunities every quarter to our members. This is a means to support their invaluable work in ensuring everyone, regardless of their location and income, has access to basic hygiene essentials of their themselves and their families.
The HBA’s founding partner, method, is providing quarterly product support to the Simply the Basics’ grant program. The recent grant winners were able to select from a myriad of options and sizes most needed by their programs, including hygiene supplies such as soap and shampoos, deodorant, and laundry detergents.
“We are grateful to the Hygiene Bank Association and Method for this grant opportunity! Guests shopping in our Family Market will love the opportunity to choose these items for their families. Hygiene items are always a big request. Thank you, thank you!”
These grants are a part of our commitment to improve community health and well-being. They also underscore our belief in the power of collaboration and collective effort.
