Restoring dignity, one hygiene kit at a time

Because access to hygiene is more than comfort—it’s confidence, health, and humanity.

About Us

Empowering lives through hygiene

Founded in 2024, Grace Helping Hands is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing essential hygiene and feminine care products to women and children experiencing homelessness across Howard County, Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, Baltimore City, and Washington D.C.

Starting as a grassroots effort, we have expanded into a community-driven organization that partners with local shelters, outreach programs, and food pantries to distribute hygiene kits. Granting consistent access to products that are too often overlooked, yet critical to dignity and health.

By restoring access to basic hygiene, we improve health, promote dignity, and empower individuals to thrive.

Our Approach

We believe dignity starts with access to the basics. That’s why we work with trusted community partners to ensure every donation reaches the people who need it most.

Step 1: Donations

We collect essential hygiene items such as soap, shampoo, deodorant, and menstrual products.

These products are distributed through our network of community partners, including shelters and social service organizations.

Step 2: Distribution

By providing these essentials, we help improve the health, dignity, and well-being of unhoused individuals and families across Howard County, Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, Baltimore City, Central Maryland, and Washington, D.C.

Step 3: Impact
