About the Drive

The TAFYS Hygiene & Personal Care Drive provides free care essentials to youth and young adults with foster care experience across the Rio Grande Valley. Together with Child Placing Agencies and community partners, we make sure basic needs are met with dignity and care.

Goal: Raise $2,500 to assemble and distribute hygiene kits where they’re needed most.

Frequently Asked Questions
