Top 4 Ways to Get Involved in Community Service Through Giving the Basics

In July, our community showed up in a big way. From church groups to scout troops to neighborhood friends, we saw what happens when people care deeply—and act boldly—to fight Hygiene Poverty. These volunteer teams became true Hygiene Heroes by giving their time, energy, and compassion to help Kansas City families live with dignity.

Here are the Top 4 Ways You Can Join the Movement:

  1. Volunteer Onsite

    Whether it was sorting soap, assembling orders, or stacking shelves, community groups got their hands (and hearts) into the work. Volunteering together made a lasting impact—and brought plenty of smiles along the way.

    “Coming here today to assemble kits was so inspiring! The team was also incredibly kind and organized – it’s no wonder they’ve been able to reach so many in need.”
    – Children’s Hospital Association

    “I really liked how many organizations Giving the Basics serves. My experience was very eye opening that I got to be a part of the efforts in helping people get the hygiene resources they deserve.”
    – Sion Class of 2029

  2. Host a Hygiene Drive

    Several groups rallied their schools, churches, and neighborhoods to collect essential hygiene items. Hosting a drive is a creative, simple way to fight Hygiene Poverty from wherever you are.

  3. Donate to Fuel the Mission

    Every dollar helps us provide free hygiene orders to schools, pantries, and shelters in need. Can’t make it to a volunteer shift? You can still make a meaningful difference right from home.

    “The basics are essential to life and knowing we were able to help others is so meaningful and something I can’t wait to come back and help again.”
    – Mission Adelante

  4. Like & Share to Spread the Word

    Raising awareness is one of the easiest (and most powerful) forms of community service. When you post about hygiene poverty and tag Giving the Basics, you help others see the need—and the solution.

    Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to help us keep the momentum going!
