Hope & Comfort Hygiene Hub’s mission is to provide sustained access to essential hygiene products to support the health, dignity, and confidence of children and adults in need in Massachusetts.
How It Started, Where We’re Going
In May 2010, Jeff and Loren Feingold made product donation requests in lieu of gifts for their daughter’s birthday, and discovered the hidden hygiene crisis.
Hope & Comfort Hygiene Hub was born, and – like many industry-disruptors – H&C Hygiene Hub was originally headquartered in a garage. We achieved 501(c)(3) status in June of 2011, and have grown to work with more than 500 youth-serving and community organizations. Today, a team of over 800 volunteers help us achieve our mission – but we’re not done yet.
In 2024, H&C Hygiene Hub will distribute about 5 million products and positively impact more than 500,000 people in Massachusetts!
