Hygiene Kits For Homeless People | MFASCO Health & Safety (2025)

What is a personal hygiene kit?

A personal hygiene kit holds personal care items that clean, comfort, and groom a person’s body. Most hygiene kits are used for personal use, travel, people experiencing homelessness, outdoor recreation, or emergency situations like natural disasters. These kits are meant to be used as a short-term solution until regular supplies and facilities are available. Typically, hygiene items are kept in a bathroom at home but if someone doesn’t have access to a home—as in people experiencing homelessness—or when outdoors such as hiking or camping.

What Do You Put in a Hygiene Kit?

A basic hygiene kit should contain essentials like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and a toothbrush. Additional items vary based on the specific use case:

• Feminine Hygiene Kit: Includes products such as tampons and sanitary napkins.
• Men’s Hygiene Kit: Might include items like a razor and shaving cream.
• Children’s Hygiene Kit: Often includes kid-friendly supplies like baby shampoo or children’s toothpaste.
• Homeless Hygiene Kit: Contains more versatile supplies, often focusing on long-term usability.

Here is a list of commonly included items for all types of personal hygiene kits:

Hygiene kits are incredibly versatile and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the user. Whether assembling kits for personal use, travel, homeless care packages, or camping, these items offer essential support for daily hygiene.

How to Make a Hygiene Kit for Homeless People

Creating hygiene kits for the homeless makes a valuable contribution to the community. People without regular access to hygiene products face challenges in maintaining cleanliness, which can impact their health, self-confidence, and ability to find employment. In addition, hygiene care helps prevent the spread of illnesses in communal spaces, which is crucial during times of heightened health awareness, such as the Covid-19 pandemic.

To assemble a hygiene kit for donation, individuals and organizations often purchase bulk hygiene supplies such as soap, toothbrushes, and deodorant. Many people then package these items in durable containers or resealable bags for easy distribution. Donating these hygiene kits to local shelters or nonprofit organizations helps provide essential care items directly to people in need.
