The First Hygiene Bank Association in the World

Simply the Basics Hygiene Bank Association™ is a global network of hygiene banks and hygiene assistance organizations that work together with a common goal to improve health, equity, and access to hygiene essentials for people and communities across the world. With roughly 1 in 4 families struggling to afford hygiene essentials, this first of its kind global network of hygiene services is filling a huge gap and need for our neighbors.

The Hygiene Bank Association™ will be the foremost authority on hygiene access and insecurity. We have established the first ever Quality Control Standards in free hygiene distribution that are required for organizations as they apply to become certified Hygiene Bank Association members.

Each year, the Hygiene Bank Association™ will publish Impact Reports to share the collective data of our members to help advocate and move policy forward to address the root causes of hygiene access and further public health outcomes,

The Hygiene Bank Association™ helps to elevate the programs and operations of hygiene distribution through trainings, member only events, resources, and quarterly grant opportunities.

Membership to the Hygiene Bank Association™ helps to:

• Raise awareness and deepen your understanding on hygiene insecurity.

• Elevate your operations and development through trainings and events that focus on topics such as fundraising and reporting.

• Increase your impact and capacity with access to data and grant opportunities

• Be in community with other like minded organizations to share in our challenges and solutions

Through partnerships and sponsorships, such as our HBA Founding Partner, Method Products, the Hygiene Bank Association™ is able to leverage its resources and expertise to make a significant impact in improving hygiene access and equity.
