Hygiene Care Kits

Overview //

The Mobile Response Center is a Catholic Charities ministry that delivers personal hygiene and cleaning supplies to poverty-stricken communities within our Diosese. We distribute monthly to approximately 100 families in Woodstock, VA as well as to other Catholic Charities Network Pantries. We provide them with much needed personal hygiene care bags and other essentials such as laundry detergent.
Families who are eligible to receive SNAP/EBT benefits are not able to purchase these everyday supplies.
