The Gillespie 4-H Youth Hygiene Committee was formed to address hygiene poverty in our community. After learning that many individuals and families struggle to access basic hygiene items, local 4-H youth stepped forward to take action and support organizations already serving those in need. Hygiene poverty impacts health, confidence, school attendance, and overall well-being. Our goal is to help remove this barrier by collecting and distributing essential hygiene products throughout Gillespie County.
