Gratitude Blog
Today 👏🏽 Was 👏🏽 One 👏🏽 Of 👏🏽 Those 👏🏽👏🏽Days!!! We are incredibly grateful to April’s Angels for their generous donation—these contributions will go directly into our hygiene bags and help us continue showing up for the students who need us most. We also received our Green Bin Kathy Ireland backstock bins for our schools…plus FIVE extra. That means we now have the capacity to expand and support five more schools, reaching even more students with non-toxic hygiene e

Preparing
My husband sent me off to the sauna so I can prepare my heart, so I can reset and be my best as a wife and as a mother and prepare 35 #nontoxic #hygiene bags for the Pittsfield school District for delivery and navigate #manchesternh stock for their 800 students we are supporting under the #mckinneyvento act . We have decided to partner with #greenbinkathyireland for our storage bins. I wanted to find a sensible storage solution that wasn’t going to interfere with our nontox

Launch Party đź«¶
This past Sunday, we gathered to celebrate something that means so much to us—community, compassion, and a shared commitment to supporting our youth.

Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to every single person who showed up—for us, and more importantly, for the children we serve. You showe

A Full Heart and a Full Day!
Yesterday was one of those days that reminds me exactly why we started this journey. We had an amazing Community Day at the Village Play Cafe—full of connection, conversation, and so much heart. We met new friends, reconnected with a familiar face, and felt the genuine support of a community that cares. It was busy in the best way, and every interaction reminded us that this mission matters. And the day didn’t stop there. After Community Day, my daughter Luna and I had the ho

Thank you Vitamin Shoppe
I want to take a moment to sincerely thank The Vitamin Shoppe for inviting me in and giving me the opportunity to share our mission. Being welcomed into a space where people were not only open to listening, but genuinely engaged, meant more than I can fully put into words. What stood out to me most were the conversations. Real, meaningful, human connections. One in particular will stay with me for a long time. I had the privilege of meeting a kind gentleman named Gabriel, who

Thank You!
It’s hard to believe that what feels like months of pushing, building, and asking for support… has really only been six weeks. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU to everyone who has shown up for us, believed in this mission, and helped us take these first steps. Because of this community, we’ve already been able to provide 400+ hygiene bags across five different school districts 🤍 Today was especially meaningful as we made our initial drop for Concord School District—a m

We Need You!!!
Big things are happening—and we need YOU with us. 💛 We are working harder than ever to rally community support to meet the needs of over 800 students in Manchester who are currently being served under the McKinney-Vento Act. These students are facing homelessness and housing instability, and access to basic hygiene is something no child should go without. Today, we’re incredibly grateful (and honestly blown away) to share that two more school districts reached out to us—Pitt

How did Ohana Hygiene come to be ?
Many notice, but not enough are willing to do. This is the spark that fueled our fire of Ohana. When my family visited Oahu in January it was painful to see, knowing if I was going to be homeless, I think I’d probably choose to be there too. When we returned home I reached out to a few agency’s on the island and they all referred back to the housing cost, mental illness and drugs or alcohol abuse. Why was I so concerned about the crisis when in my own back yard, it’s the same

Help Us Reach Our Goal: $6,500 for Manchester's McKinney-Vento Students!
Right now, we are on a mission—and we need our community beside us to make it happen. At Ohana Hygiene Project NH, we are working to provide essential hygiene bags to children in Manchester who are supported under the McKinney-Vento Act—students experiencing homelessness or housing instability. These children face challenges no child should have to endure, and access to basic hygiene products should never be one of them. In order to fully meet the needs of these students, we

A Morning of Purpose: Packing Bags for Concord Students!

What could have been just another task quickly turned into something so much more meaningful—an experience filled with teamwork, compassion, and a shared commitment to serving children in need.

A Resounding Thank You (And This is Just the Beginning)
We want to start by saying thank you to everyone who has supported Ohana Hygiene Project New Hampshire. Your encouragement, kindness, and generosity are what keep this mission moving forward. Because of you, we feel even more driven to keep showing up for children who truly need this support. Today I learned just how many children in one single school district are in desperate need of the basic hygiene essentials many of us take for granted. And that’s just one district — i

Why Hygiene Matters More Than We Think
When people think about helping children in need, they often think about food, clothing, or school supplies. But one critical need is often overlooked: basic hygiene products . For many children, something as simple as a toothbrush, deodorant, shampoo, or soap isn’t always available at home. These are items many of us take for granted every single day. But for a child without them, the impact can be much bigger than people realize. Lack of hygiene products can affect a child’
