Hygiene Hub, the charity giving hygiene and personal care products to those who need them, and is calling on the public to Spread Kindness this Christmas as part of their Christmas Campaign by donating toiletry gift sets as well as essential hygiene products this festive season.
The #SpreadKindness Campaign aims to provide at least 5,000 toiletry gift sets as well as donations of essential hygiene items to individuals and families in need this Christmas. To take part in the #SpreadKindness campaign, supporters can either donate the cost of a gift set through the #SpreadKindness fundraiser or host a hygiene drive with colleagues, friends or family and donate new, or unopened essential and luxury toiletries. Hygiene Hub will collect, pack and distribute the donations to local charities in time for Christmas.
Hygiene Hub Ireland, which launched in November 2019, has seven hubs across the country and has distributed over 50,000kg to date into communities through partnerships with local organisations. The purpose of Hygiene Hub is to alleviate the pressure of hygiene poverty felt by many individuals and families across the country, when financial struggles mean that food, rent and bills are prioritised over hygiene products.
Announcing the launch of the #SpreadKindness Christmas campaign Ciára Dalton, Head of Partnerships at Hygiene Hub said: “We know that Christmas can be an especially stressful time; this is why we started our #SpreadKindness Campaign. We are asking people to get join us in spreading kindness to make life a little easier for those of us that need it. Help us provide 5,000 gift sets and donations of essential hygiene items to those that may otherwise go without this winter.”
There are three ways that supporters can help Hygiene Hub this Christmas including
- donations to one of the drop-off points listed on the website,
- monetary donations via the iDonate page,
- or by agreeing to host a hygiene drive at school, college, or work.
Hygiene Hub Ireland will be collecting donations for their #SpreadKindness from 1st November 2023 until 4th December 2023. Donations will then be sorted and distributed to charity partners in time for Christmas.
