Hygiene essentials for every body, every day.
Free hygiene essentials for individuals and families in Champaign County
CLU-W Hygiene Pantry of Champaign County is a nonprofit that was founded in response to the rising cost of essential hygiene products and the growing need among local families. The pantry provides free access to items that support health, dignity, and daily living.
We gladly accept donations of period products, incontinence supplies, body care, haircare products, household supplies, and other hygiene essentials.
By working together, we can help ensure no one in Champaign County has to go without the basic products so many of us rely on every day.
