What We Do -

Our organization connects with students in need through the Frisco and Little Elm ISDs.  Quarterly, we deliver Refresh Packs to Frisco ISD and Little Elm ISD schools that include essential hygiene products to last each child for 3 months.  Our packages are discreetly distributed to the students and the student's identity is protected and confidential.

Our Refresh Packs are tailored to the student's age, gender preference and ethnicity.  A basic pack includes toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, shampoo, conditioner, body wash/bar soap, lip balm, comb/brush and lotion.  Packages for those in middle school and high school also include shaving cream, deodorant and feminine products. Each pack includes a handwritten note of encouragement.

Why We Do It -

Good hygiene promotes better health and prevents illness, infections and rashes from spreading.  Good personal hygiene increases self-confidence and helps children feel good about themselves and their appearance.  Lack of self esteem, especially during the teenage years, can negatively impact a student's performance in school as well as their ability to form meaningful relationships and friendships.

Refresh Frisco and Refresh Little Elm currently serve over 1400 youth.
