Hygiene drive breaks new record

Community In the News

The Family Radio Network’s 33rd annual Help for the Homeless Hygiene Drive broke another record raising $723,000 worth of new hygiene and cleaning supplies for 137 crisis programs in 22 communities across Wisconsin.

More than 1,050 businesses, churches, and schools hosted collection boxes for donated hygiene and cleaning items. These donations make it possible for local crisis programs to direct their limited financial resources to provide qualified staff, safe housing, nutritious food, education, and counseling to those they serve.

Since 1992, The Family Radio Network’s Help for the Homeless Hygiene Drive has provided $6.7 million worth of hygiene and cleaning supplies for local Wisconsin crisis programs, with donations remaining in the communities where they are collected.

Next year’s dates are tentatively planned for Feb. 22 through March 15. More info at thefamily.net or call 800-236-9364.
