FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES

A small product donation is enough.

Supporting KSI does not require a major sponsorship. A small quantity of new, unopened hygiene or menstrual-care products can support our care-package work. We confirm the items, coordinate a simple handoff, and record what is received.

THE ASKA few sealed products can make a useful contribution.
