Personal care and hygiene products are necessities—we all need them for our day-to-day comfort and health. But they are out of reach for too many people. Join the Regional Food Bank’s campaign to collect these basic essentials and level the playing field for our neighbors in need—one hygiene product at a time.

More than 350,000 people in northeastern New York are often forced to make the choice between paying for housing and utilities or purchasing basic items like feminine hygiene products, diapers, toiletries, and other items not supported by SNAP (food stamp) benefits.
