Empowering Youth with Lighthouse Youth & Family Services

At Simply the Basics, we are committed to empowering individuals and families by ensuring access to essential hygiene supplies. Today, we're shining a spotlight on our partnership with Lighthouse Youth & Family in Cincinnatti, Ohio who shares our dedication to supporting youth and families in need and the impact they have on the community. Their commitment to empowering young people and families aligns seamlessly with our goal of providing essential hygiene supplies to those in need.

The Heart of Lighthouse Youth & Family

Lighthouse Youth & Family Services is dedicated to empowering young people and families to succeed through a continuum of care that promotes healing and growth. Their programs span a wide range of services, including emergency shelters for youth, foster care and adoption, juvenile justice services, street outreach, behavioral health support, residential treatment centers, and youth housing opportunities. Serving youth aged 0-24, Lighthouse Youth & Family Services provides crucial support to those navigating the challenges of homelessness, juvenile justice involvement, and more.

Meeting the Basic Needs for Mental Well-being

For many of the youth served by Lighthouse Youth & Family Service, access to basic hygiene items is often a challenge overlooked. Yet, the impact of having these needs met cannot be overstated. Having clean clothes, personal care items, and hygiene essentials provides not only physical comfort but also peace of mind.

It allows these young individuals to focus on healing and growth, without the added burden of worrying about their hygiene needs.

The Power of Partnership: Simply the Basics Hygiene Bank and Lighthouse

By providing a steady supply of essential hygiene items, Lighthouse Youth & Family Service has been able to expand their impact and better support the youth in their care. Together, we are breaking down barriers and ensuring that every young person has access to the basic necessities they need to thrive.

Making an Impact, One Item at a Time

Among the items most requested by Lighthouse Youth & Family Service are texturized shampoo, diapers, and baby wipes. These seemingly small items make a world of difference in the lives of youth, providing them with the comfort and dignity they deserve. Through our partnership, we are able to ensure that these items are readily available when needed, making a tangible impact on the well-being of those we serve.

Our partnership with Lighthouse Youth & Family Services exemplifies the power of collaboration in creating positive change. Together, we are lighting the way for youth in need, providing them with the essential hygiene supplies they need to thrive. As we continue our journey, we are grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside such a dedicated organization and look forward to the countless lives we will impact together.
