The Lincoln Hygiene Bank is a local, Lincoln based project that was launched in September 2022. Its role is to collect donated personal hygiene and household cleaning products from the community, to put packs together for those who are struggling. Personal hygiene shouldn’t be a luxury.
Hygiene poverty is not being able to afford many of the everyday hygiene, personal grooming, and household cleaning products most of us take for granted. The reality of low income is that it restricts people’s options, leaving us caught between being able to heat our homes, pay the rent, eat or be clean.
We have several donation points all over the city of Lincoln. Our list continues to grow, and we always need more places that can help. Lincoln Hygiene Bank Donation Points:
- Bishop Grossteste University
- St Peter at Gowt’s Church (High Street)
- Mint Lane Cafe
- Lincolnshire Co-op Pharmacies – Hykeham (Newark Road), Hykeham Green, and The Forum
- Lincoln Dial-A-Ride (Lincoln Central Car Park)
- Craftea Café (Melville Street)
- Lincoln Central Mosque
- Holy Cross Church (Skellingthorpe Road)
- All Saints Church (Monks Road)
- RCCG The Victory Centre ( Dixon Wat)
