More than 750 asylum seekers from Central and South America have arrived on buses sent from Texas since Aug. 31, according to the city of Chicago. In collaboration with local, state, and federal agencies, the city of Chicago is taking action to ensure they have access to shelter, food, and other resources. The city expects to receive hundreds more migrants from Texas. We would like to help the individuals and families that are housed in temporary Chicago shelters and hotels in nearby suburbs by hosting a drive to created hygiene kits. You can either donate a completed hygiene kit or items to go into a hygiene kit.
Hygiene Kit Items to Include:
- A durable bag to hold items
- Shampoo
- Soap
- Toothbrushes & toothpaste
- Deodorant
- Disposable razors & shaving cream
- Feminine hygiene products
- Socks
- Basic first aid supplies
- Ibuprofen/Acetomenaphin
You can drop off your items at church.
