Today, ZPC would like to recognize our community partner, @eleosfoundation, whose mission is to provide personal care items to women experiencing homelessness and survivors of domestic abuse and human trafficking. Eleos Foundation supports ZPC by periodically sending hygiene items and undergarments to our facility to distribute to those in need. Access to these items is a basic yet often overlooked need for individuals facing housing insecurity. For those we serve, these essential items are not always affordable or readily available. This lack of access can lead to discomfort, health concerns, and added stress during an already challenging time. Donated hygiene products help ZPC restore dignity, promote health, and allow our residents to focus on rebuilding their lives rather than worrying about daily necessities. That's why today, we'd like to express our gratitude to @eleosfoundation for their recurring donations of feminine hygiene products and undergarments, which directly impact the comfort, well-being, and confidence of our residents who use them—something every person deserves. Thank you, Eleos Foundation, for helping us meet this critical need! (fb)
