An opportunity to help provide hygiene products to the homeless:

*OPERATION GIVE BACK IS IN FULL EFFECT*

Last year Birds of a Feather donated over 100+ lbs of soap to an organization called Lava Mae, if you haven't heard of them...click the link ^, they are amazing!!

Fast forward to this year......I started saving soap bars that didn't make it through MY OWN (lol) "quality control" for hygiene bags for the homeless. I wondered if anyone else in my realm of friends/family had any interest in this. "Donation deadline" would be sometime in October for deliveries in November - December, I would hand out these bags within the Sacramento area to those less fortunate. If you have any suggestions, donations, or even interest in handing them out with me, message me, TIA!
