How LifeWise and Divine Dignity Are Changing the School Year for Columbus Students

We’re excited to share a new collaboration with Columbus LifeWise Academy. This partnership is opening doors for hope, health, and dignity in public schools across the Columbus City School district.

For many students in these communities, access to basic hygiene essentials is not guaranteed. A lack of resources can affect more than physical health. It can impact confidence, classroom participation, and even school attendance.

That’s why this work matters.

In August, through our connection with Gospel Lighthouse Church in South Columbus, we provided 400 Dignity Bags at back-to-school events. Each bag was filled with essential hygiene items to help students begin the school year feeling ready, confident, and cared for.

And this is just the beginning.

Our Dignity 4 Kids School Hygiene Centers at Highland Elementary and Moler Elementary are already making a difference. Several more schools are eager to open their own Hygiene Centers. These spaces provide students with what they need to thrive, not just get by.

We are grateful for the LifeWise team and their commitment to seeing every child cared for in both body and spirit. Partnerships like this help us reach more students with dignity and love.
