Hygiene Kits for Reentry Rapid Stabilization Program
FamilyWise’s Reentry Rapid Stabilization program serves about 5 new participants per month. These individuals are youth or adults emerging from incarceration and re-assimilating back into the community. FamilyWise provides them with one-on-one support from community resource experts so that they can successfully engage with their community and reestablish strong relationships with their family.
We’d like to provide a welcome kit to our program participants which will include a guide to community resources, and a hygiene kit.
Your group would procure items and put together hygiene kits for these recently incarcerated individuals for FamilyWise staff to deliver as they leave the corrections facility.
This would be a bag with wipes, deodorant, toothbrush & toothpaste, soap, and a clean pair of socks.
We can accept 30-50 kits at a time!

Mission Statement
Strengthening Families by Promoting the Safety, Stability, and Well-being of Children.
Description
FamilyWise is a local nonprofit that helps our community’s most vulnerable children and families. Many of these families come to us with a history of poverty, domestic violence and homelessness. Your volunteering and financial support helps break this cycle of despair and gives them hope for a better future.
Our goal is to promote social change by strengthening families and the community through programs that:
- Educate parents on skills needed to lead stable lives and provide safe homes for their children.
- Empower families to achieve self-sufficiency and to advocate for themselves and their children.
- Enrich the lives of children, youth and families, enabling them to lead healthy, productive family lifestyles.
"Volunteering at FamilyWise opened my eyes to a whole new world where children and families from all walks of life are treated with dignity and respect. It made me feel good to know that I was helping contribute in a meaningful way to the greater good."
