District Grant Project Hygiene Bags

Annually, CCISD identifies anywhere from 1,000 to 
1,500 students as homeless, and in years with major 
weather events that impact the area, that number can 
rise to well over 3,000 students. Almost every student 
identified as homeless is experiencing financial 
insecurity. With this, hard choices must be made about 
what fits into a family’s budget. Often, hygiene items are 
left as a “luxury purchase” because items such as food, 
housing, gas, and medications take precedence. League 
City Rotary aims to fill that gap by providing needed 
hygiene kits for these students and their families. Kits 
will include items such as, but not limited to, a reusable 
bag that contains shampoo, conditioner, soap, 
toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, and laundry soap.
League City Rotary will purchase supplies and create 
hygiene kits for students and families in Clear Creek ISD 
who are identified as experiencing homelessness, as 
defined by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance 
Act. This includes students who lack a fixed, regular, and 
adequate nighttime residence, such as living in shelters, 
motels, cars, or doubled-up with others due to loss of 
housing or economic hardship
