Everyday essentials
The basics that never make a donation list, and that a kid notices missing every single day.
Soap, shampoo, a toothbrush, deodorant. The things a child is quietly embarrassed about long before an adult notices.
Kept stocked in the same school cupboards the clothing runs through, so picking something up costs a kid nothing in front of anyone.
A month of the basics for one child, restocked at their own school.
How to give
Before you send, write this in the note or memo box:
Everyday Essentials
Every one of these apps asks for a note before the money moves. Putting the program name in it is how Matt knows which one your gift is for, and it is how it gets counted to the right place. Without it the gift still arrives, it just lands in the general pile.
Every one of these goes to Matt Brown, who runs Operation Children First and buys the supplies himself. The organisation has no online giving of its own switched on yet. If you would rather give another way, message us and we will take it from there.
