Hygiene is essential, expensive, and an everyday need.
Thousands of people in Central Ohio live without basic hygiene products. They face the difficult choice between purchasing these products and covering other essential costs such as bills, food, and medicine. We’re here to provide the help, hygiene, and hope that can produce productive lives for our neighbors by removing barriers that prevent them from flourishing in everyday life.

“incredibly grateful for the partnership with Divine Dignity”
We are so incredibly grateful for the partnership with Divine Dignity. Being able to give someone a bag to freshen up their appearance and wash up is a fresh start to their day and one of the favorite things we pass out. We can’t thank you enough for being so faithful to us with dignity bags!

“I was thrilled to join the community of volunteers!”
Volunteering at Divine Dignity to help contribute to the production of hygiene kits has provided an ideal opportunity in a safe and friendly environment. Each time our consumers volunteer, they come away feeling empowered by kind individuals who patiently guide them in performing a task.

“what a joy it is to partner with Divine Dignity.”
I regularly provide these needed items to our unhoused neighbors, employees who need an extra boost this month, or patients that we serve at our outreach partner clinics such as Sanctuary Night and Hope Resource Center. Our patients appreciate the gift of hygiene, and what a joy it is to partner with Divine Dignity.

Wishing you a joyful and blessed holiday season!
At this most festive time of year, please take time to remember those in Central Ohio in need. Why do we need your continuing and ongoing support? Because hygiene is essential, expensive and consumable! Your donation will impact our ability to open new student hygiene centers, closets in medical clinics and recovery centers, and give more dignity bags to shelters throughout Central Ohio.

Jump into Action!
In this time of expansion for Divine Dignity, we hope to open new hygiene closets and centers to serve more neighbors in need. We are actively developing new partnerships with local service organizations, medical clinics, recovery programs, and churches which offer assistance to their communities. The waitlist is long…but with your help, we can meet the need! We have an optimistic goal for increasing funding through corporate sponsorships, grants, churches, and generous Dignity Donors who make holistic life change possible.
