A collection of hygiene products for the benefit of people in precarious situations Rouen will take place from March 7 to 26, 2022 in Seine-Maritime. The operation is organized by the association The Gift of the Heart. This association, which has existed for two years, is best known for its collections during the end-of-year celebrations. But it also carries out solidarity operations during the year, like solidarity socks in 2021.
Three types of kit
The objective for this collection is to constitute three types of kit:
- for men containing soaps, shower gels, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpastes, shaving foams, razors, wipes, deodorant;
- for women containing soaps, shower gels, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, sanitary napkins, wipes, deodorant;
- and for babies containing nappies, cleansing milk, shampoo, wipes, washing gel, physiological saline.
The products collected must be non-produced and not expired, favoring small formats, specify the association. They must be returned to one of the collection points located on this map.
The “most recurring” need
“If people do not have the means to make a complete kit, they can donate one or more products and the association will take care of building the kits”, explains Hanane Labardacq, co-founder of the gift from the heart.
The donations will be reversed to the Autobus samu social, to the association Action for the homeless, to SolidaRouen and to the emergency accommodation centers Emergence. “We consulted the associations on their needs and what came back the most were hygiene products,” says Hanane Labardacq. It only remains to participate to fill this gap.
