Join us in partnering with United Way of Northeast Florida to provide hair care items to students in Full Service Schools. African-American and Hispanic hair care items are frequently overlooked when toiletry items are donated. Not all hair and skincare products meet the unique needs of the African American community and many homeless service providers have difficulty providing these necessary items. Many students from struggling families within our school system have a great need for these seldom-donated products as well.

Kits will be dispersed to our Full Service Schools network to be distributed to students or through other non-profit partner agencies that serve the homeless or veteran populations.

If you need community service hours, we will verify one hour for every 5 kits created. 

What you need:

• Wide-toothed comb
• Shampoo (sulfate-free, alcohol-free, and PH balanced)
• Leave-in conditioner
• Hair oil
• Styling Gel/Curl-defining Product
• Shower caps or satin bonnet
• Spray bottle
• Suggested items here

Steps:

• Purchase the suggested items
• Assemble the kits. All kits should have most of the above items or additional items. Place in a Ziploc bag.
• Include a homemade card or drawing. Sign it "From a family who cares."
• Pack the kits up and drop off at the Downtown Campus, Food pantry, C-124
• Please email FSCJVolunteers@fscj.edu to arrange a drop off date and time
