Our Mission:

The Mission of Simply the Basics is to provide for people, communities, and nonprofit organizations their most basic hygiene needs with Dignity so that they can focus on greater goals. We are making hygiene more Equitable and Accessible as the first National Hygiene Bank.

Making Change Starts with the Basics

 
 

Our Impact Goals

  1. To improve and sustain the overall health and wellbeing of the low income community, people at risk of losing their homes, and people experiencing homelessness.

  2. To save nonprofits time and resources by managing, securing, and redistributing their in-kind and hygiene related needs, allowing them to focus their time on clients and their Mission.

 
 

Hygiene Health Is Public Health

As compared with people who have homes, people experiencing homelessness are more likely to have dermatological problems, infections, heart disease, functional limitation, seizures, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, foot pain, and decayed teeth due to lack of proper hygiene care.

The risk of death is increased eightfold in people who experience these conditions.

Simply The Basics was always there for me when I was living on the streets. I knew I could go to them for help when I needed it. They actually ask us how we are and they really listen to us. They are one of the few charities that truly do care.”
