Desperately needed items:
-TENTS
-SLEEPING BAGS
-TARPS
-RAIN JACKETS
-WATER (example: https://www.amazon.com/365-EVERYDAY-VALUE-Spring-Water/dp/B074XVZLN8/ref=sr_1_9_0o_wf?almBrandId=VUZHIFdob2xlIEZvb2Rz&dchild=1&fpw=alm&keywords=water&qid=1594654791&sr=8-9)
-UNDERWEAR (NEW ADULT AND CHILDREN’S SIZES)

If you are looking for another way to help, get together with a group of your friends/family/neighbors to make hygiene kits. Reach out to us, Katie Clark: clarkk@augsburg.edu and/or Rachel Rose: roser@augsburg.edu for more information or if you have hygiene kits to donate!

What should you put in a hygiene kit? (Place inside of a gallon ziplock and make sure everything is new or unopened)
Here are some ideas:

-Travel size shampoo
-Travel size conditioner
-Travel size lotion
-Toothbrush
-Toothpaste
