DIY Hygiene Kits

Hygiene items are highly requested essentials and need to be easy to store in a backpack. Volunteers can fill a bag with essential products tailored to either dental health or overall hygiene health.

Community volunteers are invited to create kits that can be distributed at our service centers around the Twin Cities Metro area of Minnesota.

Suggested Items:

• Toothbrush
• Toothpaste
• Shampoo & Conditioner
• Soap/Body Wash
• Comb
• Deodorant
• Razor
• Shaving cream/gel

Once assembled, contact Sarah from the Volunteer Relations Team at to let us know the quantity and to coordinate an in-person drop off at one of our locations (Monday-Friday 9 am-4 pm). If you are interested in assembling kits as a group and would like to coordinate with a Salvation Army representative, we would be happy to meet with you at your location or one of our service centers. Please let us know, and we can discuss the details further.

Please note: This is a virtual volunteering opportunity that occurs at your preferred location. The volunteer would be responsibile for purchasing and assembling the hygiene kits. These kits can be dropped off at any of our Twin Cities Metro locations. If you live outside of the Twin Cities and would like to still participate, shipping is an option (at the volunteer's expense). This opportunity is best suited for groups and is not eligible for court mandated service hours.

Thank you for supporting The Salvation Army!

Happy volunteering!
