At Refresh NTX, 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 participating schools in Frisco, Little Elm and Denton to connect with students in need of our services. Once enrolled, students will receive a customized Refresh Pack filled with hygiene products every quarter. These packs are delivered to students discreetly and confidentially. We currently serve almost 2000 students each quarter with new students enrolling daily.
As our communities continue to grow and change, demand for our services is increasing. We currently serve students Pre-K-12th grade and our packs are customizedd based on the child's age. gender preference and coily/curly hair care needs. 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 menstruation products. Seasonal items such as sunscreen and hand sanitizer are also included.
Your monetary donation will help us achieve this goal!
Average costs for our Refresh Packs:
Preschool (Ages 3-5 year) $140 a year ($35 a quarter)
Elementary students (K-4th grade) $108 a year ($27 a quarter)
Middle & High School (5th-12th grade) Male $133 a year ($33.25 a quarter)
