At Refresh we know that proper hygiene promotes better health and helps prevent illness, infections and rashes from spreading. In addition, good personal hygiene increases self-confidence and helps children feel good about themselves and their appearance. Refresh works directly with Frisco ISD, Little Elm ISD and Denton Braswell High School administration and staff to connect with students in need. Qualified families are given the opportunity to enroll in our program. Students then receive a customized Refresh Pack filled with hygiene products every quarter. These packs are delivered to students via the school discreetly and confidentially. We currently serve over 1550 students each quarter with new students enrolling daily.

Our Needs

As our communities continue to grow and change, demand for our services is increasing. Over the past year enrollment in our program has doubled. Our basic Refresh Pack for elementary students includes shampoo, conditioner, body wash or soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, chap stick/lip balm, a comb or brush and lotion. Additionally, students in middle and high school will receive deodorant, shaving cream and feminine hygiene products for female students. Seasonal items such as sunscreen and hand sanitizer are also included. 

Your monetary donation will help us achieve this goal!

Average cost for a basic Refresh Pack for elementary students is $108 a year ($27 a quarter)
Middle & High School male Refresh Pack $133 a year ($33.25 a quarter)
Middle and High School female Refresh Pack $205 a year ($51.25 a quarter)

We also welcome your hygiene product donations. We have drop off locations throughout the Frisco ISD & Little Elm ISD school zones. You can view a list of needed hygiene items and drop off locations on our websites at www.RefreshFrisco.org or www.RefreshLittleElm.org

Mission

Our mission at Refresh is to ensure that every child in our community has access to personal hygiene items. We achieve this mission by providing children with customized hygiene packs filled with essential hygiene products every 3 months. These packs include necessary hygiene items including shampoo, conditioner, soap/body wash, toothpaste, a toothbrush, floss, lotion, chap stick and a comb or brush. Packs for middle and high school students also include deodorant, shaving cream and feminine hygiene products for females. We also provide seasonal items such as sunscreen and hand sanitizer.
