In Pennsylvania, PHIG funding helped reduce barriers for students to access hygiene products in the Wilkes-Barre Area School District. In collaboration with the Wilkes-Barre Health Department, PHIG’s flexible funding allowed the Catholic Youth Center to stock a designated cabinet for students at its drop-in center with needed hygiene items, including soap, deodorant, dental care, and hair products. The initiative also included a hygiene education class and a brochure highlighting the connection between personal hygiene and overall well-being.
