Giving Back

GIVING BACK:  In 2023, I had the privilege of touring and helping sort products at a charitable organization called Giving the Basics. It was an eye-opening experience that revealed to me how basic hygiene products are not covered by any government assistance programs.

Founded in 2009, Giving the Basics began as a response to a single mother’s need for toilet paper. This young mother had gone to the grocery store with her government assistance card, only to discover that essential hygiene items—such as soap, shampoo, deodorant, toilet paper, toothpaste, and laundry detergent—were not included in the support she received. The organization believes that everyone deserves the opportunity to maintain their dignity, and that being clean and presentable can significantly alter the course of a person’s life.

I truly admire the work they are doing for the community, and I am excited to contribute to their mission. To support their efforts, I will donate 5% of all cold-process soap sales annually to Giving the Basics.
