We also ask that you wash or sanitize your hands frequently when performing this project. If you are handling hygiene products directly, please wear gloves.

How It Makes A Difference

Hygiene access particularly access to soap for proper hand washing is more important than ever. As an essential business, we will remain open for Greater Boston youth and families in need.
