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. From our discussions with Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Santa Rosa, we’ve learned that combs, brushes, toothbrushes, toothpaste, lotion, lip balm, deodorant, razors, feminine hygiene products, body soap, and shampoo are all items of particular need.

Catholic Charites mentioned that small bottles or travel sizes are especially welcome as full-size bottles can be heavy to pack around on a daily basis.

Throughout the remainder of the year, we are encouraging our hospitality partners to donate hygiene products to aid some of Sonoma County's most vulnerable residents. At the end of the year, the products will be donated to Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Santa Rosa for distribution to those in need.

Any assistance you can provide, from donating items, to helping promote this effort, is very much appreciated.

Questions can be directed to Devin McConnell at [email protected].

Thank you.
