If you ever want to really help out, hit up your local shelters and ask specially what they need. Tampons, underwear, and basic hygiene items are never thought about. Shelters help parents of homeless children seek employment and placement and having basic necessities to keep yourself clean goes a long way. Oh! Asking about clothing as they also help dress people.

And ask in the off season. Christmas is always inundated but the start of the cold season or the dead of summer are also needy times.

There are lots of women's shelters that you'll NEVER hear about because they're kept private for the safety of the women and children in their protection. Essentially they're in hiding. So your best bet is to reach out to CCEH and ask what they need. Email: assistance@cceh.org
