Estelle Maye's Hygiene Drive: Support Unhoused Communities

0:00It's March 20, here's your Birmingham news in two minutes. Estelle May is leading a drive to collect donations for basic hygiene items like toothbrushes, combs, hairbrushes, and deodorant. Through her tax exempt Estelle May Foundation, she's aiming to support local shelters serving unhoused people in marginalized communities and need. She's encouraging everyone to contribute, and these supplies will go straight to those who need them most right now. May has a track record of this kind of help, including her yearly blanket drive during the colder months. Her passion started a few years back when she lived in Atlanta, Georgia, and saw homeless folks struggling firsthand. That experience stuck with her, and keeps her motivated to give back. The deadline for donations is May 31, so they're still time to get involved. You can reach out to her at 3-3-4-4-3-1-7609, or send items to PO. Box 1572 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, 35401.
