Save Us Now Inc.

“Wrapped in Dignity” is a program that hands out basic hygiene products to the unsheltered to help them to stay clean and healthy daily. We prepare a bag filled with the basic necessities and pass them out monthly, these bags are filled with travel size personal hygiene care products (feminine protection products (sanitary pads, tampons), deodorant, soap, shower gel, shampoo, lotions, toothbrushes, tooth paste, mouth wash, combs, brushes, hand sanitizer, cleansing wipes, and bottled water) and we give them out at certain locations in Washington, D.C. where the unsheltered are usually located.

This project normally helps the un-sheltered individuals and families on the streets and in the shelters of Washington, D.C. especially during the holiday season. Christmas is all about making memories with family and celebrating the holiday season with traditions that often involve food and gift-giving. Yet, for many low-income families, Christmas can be even more challenging than other times of the year. Typically, you spend more money during the holiday season, and if money is already tight, this creates real hardship and the need for Christmas help. Thankfully, Save Us Now Inc. work extra hard to offer Christmas assistance to families in need so everyone can feel the joy of the season in the same way.

This program helps the un-sheltered and displaced families who are moving from a shelter or transitional housing into permanent housing. We assist them by helping them to get basic household items and supplies for their new home.
