Host a Cleaning Supply Drive!
One of the best ways to support Restoring Dignity’s cleaning program is to host a cleaning supply drive! Classrooms, congregations, workplaces, neighborhood groups and organizations are all great places where “many hands make light work.” Putting together 30 or 50 cleaning kits might be a huge undertaking for one person, but for 20, 30 or more people, it’s fun and easy to do!
There are different types of items to collect for a supply drive. Here some visuals (below them is a written list):
Written List:
Cleaning Chemicals
- Lysol Hydrogen Peroxide Multipurpose Cleaner

Many of the families we work with shop at Walmart, so please only buy generic supplies that can be found at Walmart (so families can find them when they need to rebuy them).
