Our December collection is for the Indy Hygiene Hub, housed at Mercy Road Church on the northwest side of Indianapolis. Indy Hygiene Hub exists to help families get essential items so they can find hope in times of hardship. Sadly, assistance programs do not provide necessary hygiene items like toothbrushes, shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, and deodorant. Diapers and feminine products are also not available through government programs. (You can find more information about or volunteer with Indy Hygiene Hub at indyhygienehub.org.)
Every third Saturday of the month, Indy Hygiene Hub hosts a drive-thru pantry where families are given hygiene bags. We are asking Cornerstone Disciples to consider donating the following:
Most needed items (in the short term):
- Diapers (especially sizes 5 and 6)
- Baby wipes
- Feminine pads (regular, heavy)
- Tampons (regular, super)
- Deodorant (women’s, men’s)
Other requested items:
- Bar soap & body wash
- Laundry sheets
- Toothpaste/toothbrushes
How to donate:
- Purchase items through one of two Amazon Wish Lists (see links below) and ship items either to Indy Hygiene Hub (9511 Angola Ct, Indianapolis, IN 46268), or to your home and bring them to your Cornerstone site.
- Donate funds to Indy Hygiene Hub at givebutter.com/YewHce.
