Support Newark Teens: Join the 2025 Toiletry Drive!

At 211 Community Impact, we believe that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. We’re partnering with Councilman Dupré L. Kelly, United Community Corporation, Hashstoria, Youth Legacy Leaders, and To Have Foundation to launch the 2025 Toiletry Drive initiative to help Newark teens feel fresh, confident, and empowered.

Starting February 1st, 2025, we are collecting travel-size hygiene essentials to create DIY Care & Confidence Bags for local teens in need.

How You Can Help

Donate Essential Toiletries

We need travel-size items, including:

✅ Shampoo / Conditioner

✅ Bar Soap / Body Wash

✅ Toothpaste / Toothbrushes

✅ Dental Floss & Lip Balm

✅ Deodorants

✅ Disposable Wipes

✅ Hairbrushes / Combs

✅ Laundry Pods / Dryer Sheets

✅ Sanitary Pads / Feminine Wipes

Drop off your donations at either of these locations:

📍 West Side Park Community Center – 600 South 17th St, Newark, NJ 07103

📍 Hashstoria – 799 Broad St, Newark, NJ 07102

Make a DIY Care & Confidence Bag

Want to add a personal touch? Consider putting together a DIY Care & Confidence Bag:

1️⃣ Choose a sturdy, reusable tote or zip-lock bag

2️⃣ Fill it with essential hygiene items

3️⃣ Add extras like a positive note of encouragement or small snacks

A simple act of kindness can go a long way in boosting a teen’s self-esteem and confidence!

Why This Matters

Many teens in Newark lack access to basic hygiene products, affecting their confidence, well-being, and academic performance. By donating, you’re helping young people feel clean, comfortable, and prepared to take on their day.

Together, we can make a real impact in our community. Thank you for your generosity and support!
