Things To Donate:
- Donate snacks and meals for kids who relied on the free school lunch program
- Donate to hooverhelps.org or neighborhoodbridges.org! They are going to buy food next week and give it away!
- Donate extra clothes and diapers to foster families
- If you have hand sanitizer, donate it to local open childcare centers
- Donate animal toys/pet food to animal shelters
- Remember, friends, donations don’t have to be in the form of money, it can simply be cleaning our kids’ closets and donating items! Another great way to donate is to give postpartum essentials to hospitals, or canned goods to food shelters. Giving blood is another wonderful donation you can make!

When you purchase a park of Star Bright Hydrogel Masks (at 50%), 100% of the proceeds will go directly to A Million Masks — an initiative to get 1 million medical masks to those who need it most. In addition to Star Bright proceeds, TULA’s already donated funds to cover thousands of protective masks. Get a mask, give a mask! It’s self-care because you care. You can see more info here.
