Our 2025 Sponsors

Hygiene items Donation Drive

Every Friday morning for the past 20 years, trained HOPE volunteers with lived experience attend the mental health unit at the Brant Community Healthcare System]. Our volunteers provide one-on-one peer support, information on available local resources as well as socks and personal care items.

Since its inception on November 2004, the “WE CARE” program has been a great success, providing packages and peer support to thousands of patients.

Based on their personal lived experiences, our peer support volunteers are able to offer emotional support, encouragement, and hope that recovery is possible. Connection is the heart of our program.

Often a patient is admitted in a state of crisis, and some patients do not have access to neccesary personal care items such as deodorant, soap, shampoo…etc. Our hygiene kits and socks are always very much appreciated.

In order to continue supplying the hygiene kits, we rely on and appreciate donations of personal care items.

We are always in need of the following:
~ Deodorant!
~ Travel size shampoo, conditioner & body wash
~ Toothbrushes
~ Toothpaste
~ Socks
~ Soap
~ Gift cards or monetary donations

If you’d like to donate or would like more information, please contact our program manager.
