South Central New York's Hygiene Fund Drive now collecting donations
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A local nonprofit just launched the second year of its five county-wide hygiene drive. Monday was the start of the Community Foundation of South Central New York's Hygiene Fund Drive. The organization's development officer, Shawn Graham, says last year, the campaign raised nearly $10,000 dollars in just two weeks. And then, distributed grants ranging from $500 to $1,000 to 13 different organizations. One of which is this period pantry in the main vestibule of the Broome County Public Library. The pantry offers period products like tampons, pads, and diapers completely free of charge for anyone. 'If you can maintain that level of like base necessity, then it's a hand-up and not a handout. Because you're able to go out and look for jobs and present yourself in a way that employers would like,' said Graham. Graham hopes to raise more than $10,000 in this year's Hygiene Drive.

33rd annual Help for the Homeless hygiene runs now through March
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WLAX/WWEUX) – A Wisconsin radio network is partnering with area homeless and crisis agencies for the 33rd annual Help for the Homeless hygiene drive. You can donate items like toothpaste, diapers, laundry soap, and more to help meet a growing need within the community. Hygiene and cleaning products are expensive and many crisis agencies do not have the budget to provide them. For families using programs like Wisconsin Foodshare Benefits, it can only be used to buy food. This year the community table is partnering with the Family Radio Network to help those in need. Community Table Executive Director, TJ Atkins, explains, 'It really gives them some dignity and integrity that they can have those items. You think about how you start your day… you put your deodorant on… you brush your teeth… these are things that help them start their day off and so to the provider that is just really helpful.' The Hygiene Drive runs through March 16th. You can drop off donations at Festival Foods, Walgreens, and other participating locations. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
