What are Confidence Kits?
READ OUR OFFICIAL MISSION STATEMENT.....
The mission of Confidence Kits is to provide hygiene products to nonprofit shelters, food banks, foster support programs and transitional housing organizations. At Confidence Kits, our goal is to provide products which support general overall physical/dental and mental health to foster children, foster parents, transitioning families, homeless, and anyone else in need utilizing local support organizations.
We are completely volunteer staffed.
When the Confidence Kits are assembled, we contact local agencies like shelters, transitional housing, foster support programs and food banks to see if there is a need for Confidence Kits within their organization. If so, we can deliver them, and if not, we can suggest they contact us when the need arises.
Agencies we currently serve:
AZCEND-Chandler Community Center
Matthew's Crossing Food Bank
Meals to Grow Program
Gilbert Public Schools Homeless Education & Foster Care Liaison
Higley Unified School District Students In Transition (SIT) Homeless and Foster Care Support Liaison
Mesa Public Schools McKinney Vento (homeless) and Foster Care Liaison
House of Refuge
Fostering Champions

Testimonials from community members who have received Confidence Kits.
Our organization was born out of a group of loving and giving friends who provided hygiene kits to food banks as birthday gifts to one another, as a way of celebrating and giving back to others in need. We are completely volunteer staffed!
Individuals and families in need have shown not only a need for food, clothing, furniture, etc., but also hygiene products. When attending school, work, job interviews, or social gatherings, it is important to look and feel your best.
Hygiene products can be expensive, and can also be outside the reach of a tight family budget, and may not be available at food banks or other charities.
Shampoo, body wash or soap, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a few razors, are the basics, but it is also wonderful to be able to give a comb or brush, lotion, sanitizing wipes, lip balm, if possible!
It is hard to imagine going without any of these items in our daily lives, but it is a difficult reality for many.
We recently delivered Confidence Kits to House of Refuge, AZCEND-Chandler, Matthew's Crossing Food Bank, Helen's Hope Chest, and Gilbert, Mesa, and Higley Public Schools' Foster and Homeless Student Family Resource Center.
