Why this skill rocks
Helping neighbors who don't have a home makes a big difference right now, showing kindness and making our community stronger. You get to be a helper and bring smiles to people's faces.
2034Where this could take you
When the Olympics are here, you'll be a leader helping everyone in our city feel welcome and cared for, maybe organizing big events to support those in need and making sure no one gets left out.
What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Hygiene Kit Supplies Bundle
RequiredToothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and deodorant are the most-requested hygiene items at Salt Lake City shelters. Buy in bulk and you can assemble 10–20 kits at once to donate.
Thick Wool Socks Multipack
RequiredSocks are the single most requested item at homeless shelters — worn out faster than anything else. A multipack of thick, warm socks is a direct, immediate way to help unhoused neighbors in Utah winters.
Reusable Tote Bags Bulk Pack
If you organize a hygiene kit drive, having sturdy tote bags to distribute kits adds dignity to the donation — people can carry their belongings in them afterward, turning one gift into two.
