The Dwelling Place of Danville has launched its Always Be Clean Hygiene Academics sponsor-a-child campaign.
People can donate $35 to the Dwelling Place to protect the health and well-being of a child this school year.
The hygiene program provides shampoo, body wash, toothpaste and deodorant to schools on a monthly basis for children living in poverty.
In addition to those products, bleach, bathroom cleaner, dish and laundry soaps and disinfectant cleaners will be made available to social workers and home liaisons for families in critical need. Nearly 3,000 pairs of socks will be distributed to the schools to help protect children’s feet from fungus and bacterial growth.
Donations can be sent to the Dwelling Place, P.O. Box 2022, Danville, IL 61834 or online at thedwellingplace2017.us/events.
