Everyone deserves access to basic hygiene.
For years, we honored our community's heroes — first responders, school staff, and hospital workers — always looking for new ways to give back. In late 2022, we heard a simple but powerful need: students in our local schools were lacking basic hygiene products.
That moment planted a seed. After research, conversations, and plenty of scribbled notes, we knew this was a cause we could rally behind — and we didn't want it to be just a moment in time. That's how Kindness Kits was born: an ongoing program of Blair Healing Rooms dedicated to bringing dignity and care to our community, one kit at a time.
A Need Recognized
Where it All Began
Baby Steps
After settling on the first two kit types — personal care and feminine hygiene — Kindness Kits launched 2023 with a Clean Sweep, collecting product donations to fill our very first kits.
Our First Supporters
We are so thankful to Blair Chiropractic Centre, Cobalt Credit Union, First Baptist Church, First Congregational Church, and Sassafras Galleria of Wahoo for holding the first hygiene product drives to benefit Kindness Kits. Additional orders were placed to supplement the drives, and it was time to assemble.
First Kits
By the end of our first quarter in 2023, we had already placed kits with 2 school districts, 3 food pantries, 3 law enforcement agencies, and 3 non-profit partners. Starting close to home in Washington and Saunders counties, we've since grown to serve Burt, Harrison, and rural Douglas counties — and beyond, into neighboring Nebraska and Iowa communities. Serving rural areas has always been at the heart of what we do.
