Metro Atlanta's Only Nonprofit Eliminating Student Hygiene Poverty Through School-Based Partnerships

When students don't have access to soap, deodorant, or clean clothes, they miss school. They get bullied. They can't focus on learning.

Dunamis Gives is Metro Atlanta's only nonprofit exclusively focused on eliminating student hygiene poverty as a barrier to education.

Through partnerships with K-12 schools and universities, we provide free, dignity-centered access to essential hygiene and household supplies. No paperwork. No barriers. Just support.

In 15 months, we've served 1,680+ students across four institutions.

And we're just getting started.

OUR MISSION: 
Dunamis Gives transforms how Metro Atlanta addresses student hygiene poverty by partnering with schools to provide free, dignity-centered access to essential supplies, ensuring that every student can attend school with confidence and focus on education rather than survival.

OUR VISION:
A Metro Atlanta where no student misses school or loses confidence due to lack of access to basic hygiene essentials

$25-70 Worth of supplies per student at no cost

HOW WE SERVE STUDENTS:
1. Partner with Schools
We work with school counselors and student services staff who know which students need support.

2. Deliver Dignity-Centered Supplies
We bring essential products—soap, deodorant, feminine care, hair care, laundry detergent, clothing basics—directly to schools.

3. Students Choose What They Need
Distribution methods vary by school, but all prioritize student dignity and eliminate barriers to access. Some schools offer self-service tables, others have dedicated shopping rooms, and some provide targeted distribution through counselor offices.

4. Remove Barriers to Education
When students have what they need, they show up to school with confidence and can focus on learning, not survival.

WHY DUNAMIS GIVES?
While food banks, clothing closets, and homeless services exist throughout Metro Atlanta, no other organization specifically addresses student hygiene poverty through school partnerships.

We fill this critical gap by:

✓ Focusing exclusively on students (K-12 and college)
✓ Partnering with trusted school staff who distribute discreetly
✓ Providing culturally responsive products 
✓ Preserving student dignity through flexible distribution models
✓ Eliminating barriers - no paperwork, no questions asked, no cost

WHO WE SERVE
Our partner schools report serving students who are:

 · Managing households independently while navigating their education
· Raising siblings without stable adult support
· Experiencing housing instability or family crisis
· Choosing between rent, food, and hygiene essentials

One school counselor told us: "A lot of kids are raising themselves. They need everything we can provide."

Another shared: "Students feel more confident and supported when they have access to culturally relevant products."

These are the students we serve. And in Metro Atlanta, we're the only organization specifically focused on removing hygiene-related barriers to their education.
