This week the Volunteer Club at the high school is hosting a hygiene drive for Giving the Basics. Every year, the club teams up with Giving the Basics to donate basic hygiene products to those in need. The club will be collecting deodorant, feminine hygiene products, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and many other items. This drive also includes a raffle for those who donate products to the drive, including a Quick Trip, Amazon, and a Chipotle gift card.
“We’ll collect all of the products and give them to Giving the Basics and what they do essentially is make hygiene baskets for kids that need them. They found that a lot of times kids that go to school don’t have deodorant, a toothbrush and toothpaste, and other items. So they give them to schools in the KC area, and some of the surrounding states, and the go to school nurses to distribute to students as needed,” Halle McFarland, 12, said.
