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!
