Hygiene Kit and Blanket Relief
The streets have become the cruelest and most unsuitable waiting room for affordable housing. According to the State of Michigan Annual Report, there are over 20,000 homeless adults and 7,000 homeless children in the state of Michigan.
Each year, World Medical Relief partners with local homeless shelters, social service agencies, churches, and other non-profits to provide personal hygiene kits and blankets for the people in our community.
Basic hygiene items are some of the most effective quality of life improvements that the at-risk population can receive. Our kits are filled with a toothbrush and toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, bar of soap, comb, towel, and a washcloth.
As a non-profit organization, World Medical Relief needs your help to purchase these items in bulk so that we can utilize our vast volunteer groups to assemble and pack these kits to distribute to those who need it most.
Many of these same agencies are requesting blankets as we are now heading into our winter months here in Michigan. In the past, we have received funds to purchase these blankets in bulk, but sadly the Act that provided the means necessary to purchase the blankets was not passed for 2024. We need your help to raise funds to purchase these blankets as each twin sized blanket costs $9.00.
We are asking you to consider donating to help us provide these everyday needs for those less fortunate. Your generosity is what keeps our mission alive.
This is how you can join this local relief effort:
-

Purchase twin size blankets and drop them off. Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.
