Our Mission

Soymilk & Hope is committed to making hygiene essentials accessible for under resourced college students and families with minors in the Triangle and surrounding areas. By bridging the gap in hygiene insecurity left by government assistance programs, we aim to promote wellness, protect dignity, and offer care to our community.

BODY & HOME CARE 

The Body & Home Care Essentials Program provides personal hygiene items to college students and families with minor children in Wake, Durham, and Johnston counties. We recognize that access to basic necessities, like laundry detergent and personal toiletries, is a critical component of health, confidence, and household stability. By serving these families, we help bridge the gap for those striving to maintain a safe and dignified home environment.

CAMPUS & CLASSROOM CARE

The Campus & Classroom Care Program bridges the gap in the academic environment. We believe that a student’s focus should be on their education, not on whether they have access to personal care items. This program serves students at colleges, universities, and schools across several counties, providing them with the dignity and confidence needed to thrive in the classroom and beyond.

COMMUNITY CARE

The Community Care Essentials Program is our outreach program designed for community members that may not qualify for our other programs. Through a combination of mini hygiene kits and a fun Spin-to-Win experience, we provide essential hygiene items during community events.
