500 hygiene kits for low income New Yorkers

Project Report | Jul 16, 2026
Hygiene Kit July 2026 Update

By Kristin Lysko | Associate Director of Advancement

Alliance for Positive Change serves low-income New Yorkers with access to healthcare, housing, behavioral health, food and nutrition services, Peer training and coaching, and basic needs. Every month, we distribute hundreds of hygiene supplies to people who experience homelessness or housing insecurity, or who simply cannot afford items. Inflation and the rising cost of living in NYC have increased the need to provide items that promote health, wellness, and human dignity. 

To date, we have: 

  • Provided over 400 kits across our sites and on our mobile van during community fairs and outreaches
  • Distributed 100 individual full-size bottles of shampoo, conditioner, soap, and other hygiene products 
  • Received hundreds of individual donations of travel and full-size hygiene products

The generosity of donors helps us provide essential hygiene products to every person who accesses our services. These necessities are critical to maintaining physical health, supporting mental well-being, and reducing barriers to employment, healthcare, and community engagement. By ensuring access to hygiene products, we help promote health, restore dignity, and affirm that every New Yorker deserves the resources to care for themselves.
