A variety of essential supports will be critical as displaced Ukrainian people arrive in BC and settle into local communities.
Personal hygiene essentials are an important part of self-care. We invite compassionate British Columbians to help displaced individuals feel safe, cared for, and healthy by providing them with basic personal hygiene kits.
Basic hygiene kits are quick to assemble and an easy way to show your support. Do this on your own or gather with your neighbours, friends, and family to assemble as many kits as you are able.
A few tips to help you get started:
- Purchase scent-free items whenever possible
- Items should be new and not used or expired
- Many or all items may be purchased at low-cost retail stores
- Consider choosing a reusable toiletry bag
- You may also wish to include a cheerful welcome note from you and your family
- Track the time you’ve spent shopping and packing your kits
We’ve included a list of suggested supplies to choose from or feel free to create your own!
