Sonoma County is home to thousands of unhoused residents. For many, access to personal hygiene products is a continuous struggle, with procurement coming at the expense of other essential needs.

Combs, brushes, toothbrushes, toothpaste, lotion, lip balm, deodorant,
razors, feminine hygiene products, body soap and shampoo
are all items of particular need.

Small bottles or travel sizes are especially welcome as full-size bottles
can be heavy to pack around on a daily basis.

Drop off at Rohnert Park Chamber - Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm
101 Golf Course Dr C-7 - Next door to Maridadi Beste
