“We work a lot like the food bank, but focused on hygiene care”
In this episode, our featured voice is Meghan Freebeck, the Founder and Board President of Simply the Basics. Simply the Basics is focused on providing access to hygiene for our fellow community members who cannot provide this most basic need for themselves and their families. Simply the Basics has created a unique National Hygiene Bank Model as well as piloting an Open Marketplace for people to list in-kind donations. These services are designed to make it easier for both individuals and other nonprofit organizations to better utilize the in-kind product donations to provide hygiene products for our un-housed and low-income community members and in turn, support their most basic core health needs.
