The Timeline of Events
The Navajo Nation Hygiene Kit Collaborative Service is an opportunity for everyone to help. We will be assembling, transporting, and distributing 3000 hygiene kits in the Navajo Nation during a 3-day-long service activity.
The people who are receiving these hygiene kits live in some of the most rural parts of the United States, where they have to choose between running water and electricity due to utility costs and ultra-low income. A lot of these communities still use coal to heat their homes and cook!
We have an opportunity to help them by providing essentials, and we would love for you to be a part of it as well. This Hygiene Kit Amazon Wishlist is the best way for you to pitch in.
Then, in August, please join us for the assembly, transportation, and distribution of these hygiene kits.

Future Outlook
This project is part of an ongoing commitment to supporting Navajo Nation communities where access to safe water remains a challenge. Moving forward, Intercity Service Coalition hopes to continue building relationships with communities in the Navajo Nation and expanding similar service efforts driven by local needs. The goal is to keep showing up consistently, learning directly from communities, and supporting initiatives that create more reliable access over time. Let's work together to expand this service and show the positive impact the Navajo Nation Project has on the community.
