This hygiene corner will give San Joaquin County youth in need sustainable access and support to essential hygiene products. Creating a remarkable wave for youth to build confidence and self esteem. 

The need to help hygiene insecurity: 

Children are being sent to school in dirty clothes with unbrushed teeth as parents can no longer afford toiletries. This has become such an epidemic that 46% of teachers have now seen children bullied because of their hygiene issues, according to a report by In Kind Direct. Parents – who are blighted by low wages, high housing costs and benefit cuts – are struggling to afford even the most basic of hygiene products. More than four in 10 parents have gone without hygiene products due to costs; while one in five admit their child wears the same underwear at least two days in a row. Teachers are now seeing a dramatic surge in this type of poverty, with eight in 10 teachers saying they have seen an increase in the number of pupils coming to school unwashed.

Project Love Every Step You Take is an initiative dedicated to providing disadvantaged youth (foster care and low-income households) with essential items such as clean socks and shoes. 

This project  is designed to instill confidence, dignity, and a sense of belonging in every child it serves. By ensuring youth have access to quality essentials, we aim to remove barriers that impact self-esteem, school participation, and overall well-being. 

Through community partnerships, Project Love Every Step You Take is helping youth  take confident steps toward a brighter future.

Thanks to the generous support of Ross Stores, Dawl Camp’s Love Every Step You Take program is now providing free school and professional clothing to socioeconomically disadvantaged youth in San Joaquin County, ages 5–16.

From the first day of school to a first job interview, we believe every young person deserves to step forward with confidence, dignity, and pride. This initiative removes financial barriers, ensuring our youth are equipped for success in the classroom, the workplace, and beyond.
