What's a Community Care Bag / Box

Bridging the  Gap. 

The need for Community HOPE Boxes is underscored by alarming statistics about financial hardship and homelessness in Texas. According to the United Way, nearly 50% of Texas households struggle to afford basic necessities like food, housing, and healthcare. Rising food costs have put additional pressure on families, with a 2022 No Kids Hungry poll revealing that 52% of Texans have had to choose between groceries and other essential expenses, such as rent or utilities, in the last year. For families with school-aged children, this figure rises to nearly two-thirds

 

Homelessness in Texas is also on the rise, with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reporting a 12% increase in 2023. More than 27,000 Texans are without permanent housing, and about 43%  of them live unsheltered on the streets. These troubling trends highlight the critical importance of providing immediate relief to those in need.

 

The Community HOPE Boxes offer up to $50 worth of essential items such as cleaning supplies (Fabuloso, Lysol), hygiene products (toothbrushes, soap, Colgate toothpaste), and laundry necessities (Tide Pods). These items help relieve the financial burden on families who struggle to afford them, allowing them to maintain clean and healthy living conditions, a small but meaningful way to preserve their dignity and offer hope during challenging times.
