At Touch Gift Foundation, we know that dignity begins with the basics — and too many of our neighbors go without them. This season, we’re launching a powerful community effort to ensure that individuals and families facing hardship have access to essential hygiene products that support health, confidence, and well-being.
We’re calling on our friends, partners, schools, and supporters to help us reach our goal of creating 1,000 hygiene bags for distribution at our upcoming Community Hygiene Event.
And you can make a meaningful difference right now.
🧴 What We’re Collecting
We are accepting donations of new, unopened hygiene items, including:
Gallon Ziplock Bags
Quart Ziplock Bags
Toothbrushes
Toothpaste
Lip Balm
Soap
Combs and/or Brushes
Deodorant (Male/Female)
Every single item donated becomes part of a bag that can help someone feel cared for, seen, and supported.
📍 Drop-Off Locations
From now through December 14th, you can drop off items at either of our participating locations:
🏫 John B. Drake Elementary School
2710 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, IL 60616
🏢 The TGF CTI
640 E. 79th St., Chicago, IL 60619
These community partners have generously opened their doors to help us gather items and meet our goal.
💛 Not Local? You Can Still Help.
A donation of just $10 provides one complete hygiene kit.Your contribution directly supports a person in need — no amount is too small to make a big impact.
👉 Scan the QR code on the flyer or donate directly online.
🤝 Why This Matters
For many of the individuals we serve, hygiene items are not easily accessible. Something as simple as a toothbrush, deodorant, or bar of soap can restore confidence, improve health, and help someone take their next step forward.
These bags go to:
Families experiencing financial hardship
Individuals facing housing insecurity
Youth and students in need
Community members recovering from crisis
Anyone who walks through our doors seeking help
This drive is about more than supplies — it’s about compassion, dignity, and community care.
🙌 How You Can Get Involved Today

🎯 Together, We Can Reach 1,000 Bags
