This Thanksgiving, Direct Relief invites you and your family to assemble much-needed hygiene kits for people impacted by emergencies. Many people affected by disasters have to evacuate their homes, and oftentimes do so without taking with them personal hygiene items needed to stay healthy. Together, we will assemble 5,000 hygiene kits for displaced families in the U.S. and around the world, as well as 2,000 dental kits to improve oral health for low-income families throughout Santa Barbara County.
