Ethnically Appropriate Hygiene Items

Festival of Sharing is working to make its hygiene items more inclusive of all types of skin and hair. Agencies in Missouri helped us compile a list of lotion and Black hair products. This year we invite you to donate these individual items through our warehouse or the Sharefests, and they will be shared with agencies based on their local need. As we continue with these efforts, we will reflect on the process, adjust as needed and communicate any changes for future collections.
Thank you for partnering with us in these efforts!
