Hygiene Bags for Homeless Families

Nine Scouts from Troops 64/4064 spent two hours on a Saturday before the holidays to assemble hygiene bags (toothpaste, soap, deodorant, diapers and more) for Holy Family Day Home. Holy Family is a day care and resource center for underprivileged families. Some 71% of its families fell below the California median income level, 42% of the center’s families fell below the poverty level (as indicated by the California Department of Housing and Community Development, for a family of four), 20% of its children came with SF Free Homeless Childcare vouchers and 23% of the center’s families were currently or formerly homeless during the ’20-’21 school year.
