Often, people who are experiencing homelessness are disconnected from society and feel invisible. Taking the time to put together a comfort kit sends a powerful message that they are seen and cared for. It may seem like a small gesture, but a comfort kit can make a big difference in someone’s life. For many unhoused individuals and families, a comfort kit can provide much-needed supplies to help them feel cared for and supported. By providing necessities like food, hygiene items, and clothing we can help people to survive and thrive.
Through completely self-sustained mobile shower units, the Fresh Start WASH & Wellness Program offers showers and other critical hygiene services to individuals experiencing homelessness and economic hardship in cities across the US. In addition to daily access to ADA accommodating showers, individuals experiencing homelessness will also be able to access additional services including: free mental health or substance abuse treatment, food assistance, help getting identification, clean clothes, healthcare, veterinary care for animals, job placement training, and housing assistance. The Comfort Kits being built will be distributed to individuals in need through our Fresh Start WASH & Wellness Program.
As part of the Clark County Community Event, 3,000 Soap Saves Lives Comfort Kits are being sponsored through a public/private partnership with Clark County Government, Caesars Entertainment, and Caesars Foundation. Once assembled, the Soap Saves Lives Comfort Kits will be distributed by Clean the World Foundation through the Fresh Start WASH & Wellness program to men, women, and children experiencing homelessness. The Fresh Start WASH & Wellness program was recently extended in Clark County through June, 2023.
A Comfort Kit is a collection of items carefully curated to uplift and helps a person experiencing homelessness. Each comfort kit contains a pair of socks, a snack bar, a toothbrush, toothpaste, lip balm, a towelette, deodorant, soap, shampoo, and a handwritten note of encouragement with a resource guide on the back. Additional items can include a laundry sheet. This is a great way to provide support to the unhoused community and help them through tough times. These items benefit individuals experiencing homelessness by providing them the ability to maintain their hygiene and health and provide them with essential items that they may not otherwise have access to.
Each Soap Saves Lives Comfort Kits contains: soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, tissues or wipes, deodorant, socks, snack bar, lip balm, and a personalized note with a resource guide on the back. Just put one of each item into the backpack and write a note of encouragement. Impacting someone's life has never been so simple!
