Activity Description
SERVE at Home is a way for your family to spread kindness and help our community on your own, anytime, anywhere! For this activity, you will work with your family at home to assemble hygiene kits 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 package 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 Needed
Girl/Boy Hygiene Kits:
- 2-in-1 Shampoo/Conditioner (full size)
- Bar soap
- Individual toothbrush
- Toothpaste
- Deodorant
Baby Hygiene Kits:
- Baby lotion
- Baby shampoo/wash
- Baby powder
- Desitin/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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you choose to create hygiene kits on BEAR's behalf, please make sure that this Virtual Volunteer Form is completed and attached to your donation when it is dropped off at BEAR HQ. You may also complete the form and send it via email.
