Hygiene Kits

As part of our Caring for Children program, Bridge of Hearts provides thousands of personal care kits for thousands of homeless and disadvantaged children each year. Good health and hygiene are essential to positive emotional and physical development for all children, and even more critical for those who lack regular access to care supplies due to poverty. Your support can help ensure thousands of kids in need receive these basic supplies.

Project instructions to create hygiene kits

Fill gallon sized Ziploc bags with 1 each of the following items:

• Toothbrush
• Toothpaste, full size
• 12-18 oz bottle of shampoo
• Washcloth
• Bar of soap
• Deodorant

All items must be individually packaged, NEW and unopened. NO hotel samples or travel sizes.

Bookmarks

Every birthday bag we provide includes two books, and we love to tuck a bookmark inside each one. With more than 6,500 bookmarks needed every year, this simple service project makes a meaningful impact.

Bookmarks can be created individually or as a group project. Get creative by adding colorful designs, encouraging messages, inspirational quotes, fun sayings, or simple, cheerful artwork.

Each handmade bookmark is a special reminder to a child that someone cares. Your creativity helps make reading even more enjoyable while adding a personal touch to every birthday celebration.

Project Instructions

• Cut cardstock to approximately 1.5 inches wide by 8 inches long.

• Use colored pencils, crayons, or markers to create a design.

• Optional: Use a hole punch and add a ribbon or tassel.

• Deliver completed bookmarks to Bridge of Hearts.

You can also create and print bookmark designs using Canva.
