SERVE at Home - Make Hygiene Kits for BEAR

Activity Description

SERVE at Home is a way for your family to spread kindness and help our community on your own, anytime, anywhere! We want to keep Houston volunteering all month long! You can complete this activity at any time during the month.

For this activity, you will work with your family at home to assemble hygiene packs for BEAR to give to abused or neglected children. These personal hygiene items help create normalcy and keep each child healthy when transitioning into CPS care.

You will need to provide the supplies for this activity. You can complete this activity on your own anytime during the month.

Activity Directions

Please put the following items in a gallon ziplock bag according to age and seal the bag to prevent leakage when you are done. BEAR asks that all hygiene items be full size. Please do not use travel size.

Supplies:

Girl/Boy Hygiene Packs:

§  2-in-1 Shampoo/Conditioner (full size)

§  Bar Soap

§  Individual Tooth Brush

§  Tooth Paste

§  Deodorant

Baby Hygiene Packs:

§  Baby Lotion

§  Baby Shampoo/Wash

§  Baby Powder

§  Destin/Diaper Ointment

You can purchase supplies for and make as many hygiene kits as your family is able to donate. We recommend making 6 hygiene kits, but any amount you can put together is appreciated.
