Simply the Basics Hygiene Markets are a fun and engaging way to support your community! Our Hygiene Bank will be distributing critical basic hygiene needs for the community and people experiencing homelessness. Families and individuals are provided CHOICE and are able to select items that they need most and you will help them to fill their reusable tote bags to meet their needs and improve their health and wellness.
The event will take place at the SF Public Library to support our community in receiving much needed services with dignity.
Volunteers may be asked to:
- Compassionately engage with Recipients
- Distribute hygiene kits and individual supplies to Recipients
- Support with line management, as needed
- Help with set up and break down
- and more!
*Volunteers should be able to stand for a period of time (with breaks) and be able to lift about 20 lbs.

Mission Statement
The Mission of Simply the Basics is to provide for individuals, organizations, and communities their most basic needs with dignity so that they can focus on bigger goals. We simply remove barriers, allowing people to have the opportunity to achieve.
Description
Simply the Basics is inspired by Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the philosophy that people are unable to focus on any needs higher than their current level on the following pyramid. If they are unable to meet needs at the very basic level (food, shelter, clothing, education, and hygiene), they will be incapable of moving up in the pyramid to reach greater goals (job security, sobriety, mental and physical health, and self actualization).
By alleviating the struggle to meet a most basic need, a person can achieve independence in other areas. By removing the barrier of finding the next meal or safe place to sleep, securing hygiene products, and meeting any other basic human needs...People are given the Opportunity to Achieve.
