August 10, 2023 Acadiana Office of Public Health to host Back to School Hygiene Drive

-

The Office of Public Health Region 4 (Acadiana), in partnership with Healthy Iberia Coalition and Healthy Vermilion Coalition, is holding a Back to School Hygiene Drive. In this first-of-its-kind event, we are asking Acadiana community members to collect basic hygiene items for distribution to local middle schools.
Middle school can be a very difficult time for students and many families are facing economic challenges. Items collected will be delivered to middle schools throughout Acadiana and shared with students when there is a personal hygiene need during the school day. The goal is to reduce anxiety and improve self-esteem and lead to a more effective educational process.
ITEMS REQUESTED
New and unused items are listed below
Please do not donate opened items or razors. We are also unable to accept cash/monetary donations.
When: August 15 - September 15
Where:
Send questions to Juleah.Joseph@la.gov or call Susan Royer at 337-262-5311.
Region 4 staff appreciate your kindness and generosity in supporting the children of Acadiana.

Surgeon General Ralph L. Abraham, M.D.

Interim Secretary Drew Maranto
