Help Build 160 Care Kits for Women and Girls in Our Community
Every woman deserves access to basic necessities — but she also deserves to feel confident, valued, and cared for.
Join Women United for Essentially Her, a meaningful volunteer opportunity where we’ll come together to assemble 160 care kits for women and girls supported by United Way-funded agencies across our community.
We’ll provide all essential hygiene items needed to build the kits, including deodorant, shampoo, razors, menstrual products, toothbrushes, and socks.
We’re inviting YOU to bring thoughtful self-care items of your choice!
We suggest each attendee bring at least four additional care items. Whether it’s a favourite lipstick, nourishing skincare, sunscreen, a luxurious shampoo, a cosmetic bag, or another thoughtful item, your contribution will help each care kit feel more personal.
