from HOMELESS TO an APARTMENTGHHC encountered Marilyn V. who was homeless for five months before getting her apartment. She was referred to us by a friend. We were able to assist her with her hygiene needs. As we prayed with her, we became aware of her need for a bed. GHHC reached out to Immaculate Conception Church and St. Vincent de Paul, who were able to purchase and set up her new bed. They also prayed with her for continued blessings. Marilyn has a heart of gratitude and thankful for our small part in recent blessings. She is so appreciative that she plans to make a small donation to GHHC. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12 client thanks ghhcShaun had finally moved out of the homeless shelter. He was in need of basic hygiene and prayed for it. Then he found out about God's Hygiene and took 3 buses to get to our Help Center for his first time visit. Our greeter commented how friendly and polite he was. He said, "I really appreciate what you are doing here very much. God bless you!" Tammy went over to talk with him and found out he was getting his first apartment. So she went upstairs and looked for any inkind donations that could assist him. Shaun was very happy to not only receive his choice of 6 hygiene items but a comfort set for his bed. Thank you to our donors for your continued prayers and support so we can pass on the blessings to our clients. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 clean start basketsTwo volunteers from the Embark program picked up 2 Clean Start Baskets on April 25, 2024. They said, "The men who will receive these baskets are so appreciative. They have nothing and really need and can use all the hygiene, towels, and cleaning supplies you give them. Thank you so much for providing this program for those released from incarceration." Sue Zerman and her husband have been working with a man at Faith Mission for 3 years. Today he finally left the mission and was blessed with a bucket full of hygiene. Kathryn Farrar built him a Clean Start Basket from in kind donations. This ongoing project is a team effort. One volunteer faithfully shops for towel sets all year and donates them. Various people have donated large sizes of hygiene and other miscellaneous household items. Thank you for your continued support. power of prayerDelores is a regular client of God's Hygiene. She came to get hygiene and shared with Tammy she was scared for her upcoming surgery. Tammy prayed with her 3 times. Delores was in a coma for a month afterwards. She had been in the hospital for 2 1/2 months with colon blockage. They had made a mistake with her surgery. When she came to God's Hygiene Help Center, with her colostomy attached to her, Tammy prayed with her. Praise God! The damage got reversed and had her bag removed. Delores said thank you so much. Tammy replied, "You're welcome! It's really all Jesus!" Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 senior resources talkGod's Hygiene Help Center was invited to be one of 12 tables at a Resources Fair for Seniors held at Christian Valley Baptist Church. Since Tammy is known as Miss Resource Queen, she gave a talk sharing information about GHHC as well as where to get help with rent, utilities, food and more. Posted on the church's Facebook page: God did it!!! CV’s 1st Seniors Health and Resource Fair was absolutely amazing. Thank you to Dr. Jimmy, Sis. Octavia and Sis. Jackie for allowing God to use you to bring this vision to pass. There were health screenings, exercise class, assisted living information and so much more available. Our members and the community received a blessing today with this blessed event.

in kind donationsdaycare blessingsA friend called and wanted to donate her daughter's preschool clothes. God's Hygiene Help Center usually only accepts donations of hygiene and cleaning items. But instead of giving away the items at our Help Center, Tammy knew just the place where to take the items. The children and their mothers were so appreciative to receive over 50 outfits ghhc helps the homelessTammy received a phone call from Stacy Schad at UALC. There was a homeless woman at The Church at Mill Run and the church staff wanted to help her. Tammy got busy putting together needed hygiene: soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, washcloth, towel, socks, first aid kit, blanket, hat, mittens, a new coat and a Bible. She knew another person may show up so she packed an extra set of items. Our God is so amazing in His timing. Just yesterday at GHHC a volunteer brought in 6 new coats she had bought at Home Buys at only $6 each! We are glad to pass our in kind donations to those who can use them. clean start basketsHeather received her Clean Start basket on Saturday, February 10. She was excited to receive the basket full of the household items that she needed. Heather served 9 years in Ohio Reformatory for Women but she has finally found her first place. With all of her new responsibility she is glad she doesn’t have this on her list. Heather said, "Thank you for the blessing." Jan Roberts, Kindway UPPER ARLINGTON LUTHERAN CHURCH HELP WITH GHHC PROGRAMSOn Saturday, March 2, 2024, God's Hygiene Help Center (GHHC) hosted the Upper Arlington Lutheran Church's (UALC) middle school youth group (MSM) at the Twenty-Eight:19 Christian Ministry Center located at 948 Oakland Park Avenue in Columbus. UALC's Middle School Director, Mary Kate Hipp, and 30 middle-school age boys and girls joined GHHC's volunteers in completing four (4) unique projects: 1) assembling 20 hygiene bags for The Butterflies celebration; 2) assembling hygiene items for Blessing Bags for the homeless; 3) packing household and kitchen supplies into laundry baskets for GHHC's Clean Start Baskets, and 4) writing heartfelt and encouraging messages and Scripture verses for the various packages. One would be encouraged to know the youth of UALC have the hearts of servants with the profound messages written. While the group enjoyed pizza, Tammy Jewell, GHHC Founder, also spoke to the youth of her experiences of living an impoverished life and the importance of being kind to people ; and to look for other youth, either at school or in the community, who need help, who could use a friend, who might need encouragement, and give to them if they are in need. If you would like more information about GHHC's programs and how you can help, please send an email to Kathryn Farrar executivedirector@godshygiene.org butterflies celebrationEvery year Melissa Baz, hairstylist and owner of the Wild Honeybee Boutique plans an event to celebrate graduates of CATCH Court and human trafficking survivors who are called "The Butterflies." CATCH Court (creating autonomy through collaborative healing) is a specialized docket in the Franklin County Municipal Court for women in the system who are victims of human trafficking. This year Melissa invited Tammy and Diane to be part of the celebration. We brought the 20 bags of hygiene which the Middle Schoolers packed. When we asked if Tammy could have time to share her story and how she came to Jesus, Melissa replied, "I would love for this Sunday to be about inspiration, hope and about their worth. How proud we are of them and all their accomplishments they have already achieved. These are the Survivors of Human Trafficking who have already gone through the 2 year program through CATCH Court. But always love encouraging words of affirmation to the girls. Tammy's a wonderful soul and angel. I would love for her to say some amazing words of encouragement. It's the beginning of the week for International Woman's day. So love the fact of making next Sunday inspirational and empowering women!!!!" More information about CATCH COURT: ohiocapitaljournal.com/2023/09/18/16-women-graduate-from-catch-court-a-criminal-justice-program-for-victims-of-human-trafficking/ Melissa posted on Facebook about the celebration "It was a BEAUTIFUL Sunday at Wild Honeybee Salon • Boutique!!!!! We had a "Day of Beauty" event for an incredible group of lovely ladies called The Butterflies... They are Survivors that were caught up in the corrupted world of Human Trafficking... The salon was full of love, compassion and inspiration... We all think we are doing something great for them and giving them this gift. But, we all walk away with our hearts overflowing with pure Love and Joy. We were all so fulfilled with God's Glory. We are the ones who truly recieve the gift from them! THANK YOU ALL who were a part of this Big SPECIAL Day. My Team, My Tribe, My Queens, My Besties, EVERYONE, who helped me make this day happen! THANK YOU!!! I'm beyond grateful for all the love & support. You all make me a better person! My heart is abundantly overflowing... God Bless! Melissa & Shawna" OUTREACHDecember and January were busy months of connection and sharing the Gospel. Aside from the lives we touch at our Center, we were privileged to speak with a group of 4th grade students at the Reset program and two groups of middle schoolers attending the Parable Project. twentyeight19.org/programs/ Each group was spellbound by Tammy's honesty and ability to connect with their lives. Tammy spoke about 15 minutes, in part she told them: "In fourth grade, I was unable to have school supplies or even be in a school longer than a few months. When I was in fifth grade my mom went to prison we would live everywhere. I only went to school to check in. I stopped learning in fifth grade. Now I can’t hold a job anywhere, not even at McDonald’s. So stay in school, respect your parents, and respect others. Please do not bully those who have nothing but maybe help them. If you have an extra sweater or an extra pen or pencil, offer it to that person. You never know what somebody else is going through. What if that was you and you had no school supplies, no clothes and felt so ashamed that you hid in the cold in the woods. And now you have no education to go further in life or to keep a job. God changed my life and he will lead you down great roads, but you must listen to God and respect your parents and teachers. So please remember God loves you. Stay in school. Don’t be the fool and always do right, even when no one’s looking. Help each other." After the talk and a few questions, each student was given a Student Hygiene Bag: a drawstring backpack with shampoo, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, comb, hat, gloves and information for parents about accessing GHHC. It is such a blessing that the Twenty-eight:19 twentyeight19.org ministry we partner with provides spaces for these types of Christian based ministries to collaborate. We were also blessed to speak to a wonderful Bible Study group from Rock City Church. Again, Tammy gave a compelling talk about how God can use anyone's life for His glory and what a joy it is to walk with Him. We look forward to an ongoing relationship with these Godly women. To arrange a speaker for your small group or organization, please contact Kathryn Farrar executivedirector@godshygiene.org clean start basketsSonya received her Clean Start Basket after she was released from the Alvis House. She spent 10 years in Ohio Reformatory for Women. This is what she had to say about the basket. "Thanks again!. That basket and the stuff in it is amazing. Super beneficial! Thanks for the gift of love! The God’s Hygiene team which builds the basket is truly a blessing." In 2023 God's Hygiene packed 18 Clean Start Baskets for those released through the Kindway and Embark programs www.kindway.org. Tammy also created 5 additional Baskets for those graduating from area treatment centers. Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 project warmIt's getting chilly outside! PROJECT WARM has started. Will you help us keep students and people in need warm with hats and gloves? Thank you to the Beacons of Upper Arlington Lutheran Church for donating the beautiful quilts and blankets. Today Tammy wanted to help this little guy get warm with a hat and gloves set. GHHC really needs kids and adult gloves and hats. We are also accepting donations of scarves, new underwear, socks, blankets and gently used coats. Large donations may be brought to God's Hygiene Help Center, 1402 Oakland Park Avenue, Columbus 43224. GHHC is located just east of Oakland Nursery and Karl Road in the parking lot next to Donato's. Volunteers are there every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30 am - 1:00 pm. You can see our orange garage doors in the back of the parking lot. Smaller donations may be left at the Exchange Center at UALC on Mill Run. We praise God for the resources and volunteers that enable us to reach people in need. Your gifts and prayers help us share the love of Jesus and show people that "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear." Psalm 45:1-2. Thank you, and God bless you. Linden life fellowship resource nightMatthew 22:37–39, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. The second most important is similar: ‘Love your neighbor as much as you love yourself’" (TLB). Linden Life Fellowship invited God's Hygiene Help Center to be part of their resource night for parents. The parents heard about free resources provided by Columbus Works, Linden Fresh Produce Market, NNEMAP Food Pantry and GHHC. GHHC gave the parents laundry detergent and sanitizing wipes. school hygiene boxesThank you so very much for your kind donation to our school! We were able to provide a handful of students with toothbrushes, toothpaste, and other hygiene products because of your agency! Myself, YB staff, and our students thank you so much for your partnership. Here is a photo of two of our amazing students who helped organize the items on our shelves in preparation for students to take what they need! Casey Church Family Advocate | AmeriCorps YouthBuild Columbus Community School God's Hygiene received this email from a school nurse. My name is Sara Klose, or Nurse K, and I’m the school nurse at Yorktown Middle School on the east side of Columbus – with Columbus City Schools. We are in desperate need of hygiene products for our students. Unfortunately, many of our students are unable to afford these items and turn to the school to provide and assist in purchasing these products for our students. However, as the school nurse in our middle school – I have very limited funding and only a $300 annual budget for medical supplies. Oftentimes, I find myself having to buy these items because the funds are just not there! That is why I am reaching out to your organization to assist in any way possible – any type of donation would be appreciated and well-received from our students in need. We are in need of any toiletry and hygiene type of products that include maxi pads, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, edge control, wipes, body sprays for boys and girls, and leggings/pants/shorts in ALL sizes for girls (and boys). Not only do our students not have the basic items at home, but when an “accident” occurs at our middle school, we want them to feel like we can take care of them and lessen any burden on home to bring the student a new pair of pants and underpants. Thank you for your time and consideration – we all truly appreciate your mission! Our dedicated executive director called to talk to Nurse K about their needs. She then packed School Hygiene Boxes for the nurse at Yorktown Middle School and Columbus Adventist Academy. Students are so much in need for basic hygiene. Thank you for supporting our efforts to help them. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. PSALM 107:1 student hygiene bagsTammy and Kathryn spoke at North Baptist Church last month. Michael Tillis was impressed when he heard about GHHC's newest project to give hygiene bags to students while sharing the gospel. He had retired from ATT and had been looking for an organization who needed 200 drawstring bags. We are so blessed that God had us partner together. Later that week St. James the Less School reached out to to our North Linden police liaison Office Bill Varney where they could get needed hygiene for their students. Isn't our God amazing how he fills the need. the parable projectTammy and Kathryn shared at the Parable Project at Twenty-Eight:19 about the importance of staying in school and how Tammy grew up without basic hygiene. God's Hygiene Help Center then presented Student Hygiene Bags to each student, Cheryl's Cookies and Trick or Treat candy. Middle school students meet every Monday and Wednesday from school dismissal until 7pm. Each week the Parable Project Program Director and a team of volunteers lead up to 15 students in activities and group time focusing on discipleship, mentoring, fellowship, life-skill development, and assistance with education. They also provide meals to every student who attends. Twenty-Eight:19 is another nonprofit located just down the street from GHHC. The origin of their name can be found in the New Testament. It comes from a passage in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 28, verse 19, which says: “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” To the team at TwentyEight:19, this means dedicating their lives to serving others, especially those in most need, and to bringing the light of the gospel to them. They believe that a focus on improving the family environment is the critical path to making lasting changes, improving lives, and ultimately making disciples. GHHC is happy to partner with Twenty-Eight:19 since we share similar missions of sharing the love of Jesus with others. During the winter months we will be holding our monthly Prayer Gatherings in their building. calumet christianOn Saturday, November 4, Kathryn and Tammy met with adult and student volunteers from Calumet Christian School.

Our Heavenly Father, we thank You for the great principle of thanksgiving. May we as a people find it more deeply embedded in our life, to the extent that it was practiced by our forebears. May we as individuals know and practice the law that thanks givers indeed become blessing receivers and so live. And for this , accept our humble gratitude. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Norman Vincent Peale IN KIND DONATIONSWe are so grateful for Fellowship Bible Chapel in Sunbury, Ohio.

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. Join the movement and give – each Tuesday and every day – whether it’s some of your time, a donation, or the power of your voice in your local community. It’s a simple idea: whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to contribute toward building the better world we all want to live in. Some employers such as Chase will double or triple your donation on GivingTuesday. Would you please consider checking with your organization and making a donation on Tuesday, November 28. You may make a donation to God's Hygiene for GivingTuesday here. Thank you! Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

The doctor looked at her hand and said first we have to take this off. It was an eye opening experience for Cindy and wants to caution everybody else to see your dermatologist and take care when you go out in the sun year around. Cindy suggested to add sunscreen to our inventory of hygiene items. Our Board gladly accepted her suggestion and now it will be one of six items available each month for our clients to choose to receive. tree of life fall festivalGod's Hygiene Help Center had the honor of partnering with the Tree of Life campus in Dublin on September 29 for their Fall Family Fun Night.

All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 4:15 helping the homelessThis man visited God's Hygiene Help Center this week. Tammy recognized him because he frequented the Blessing Box on Howey Road and was always very polite. He shared with Tammy that he had been in an auto accident two months ago, felt confused, lost and was having a difficult time. She was able to share resources where to get assistance for treatment as well as the food pantries close by. Someone had donated a sleeping bag which she game to him along with some basic hygiene items. Most important he wanted prayer and Tammy was able to pray with him. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. Isaiah 30:19 b thank you to our north linden liaison |
Jennifer came with her son Dakota to God's Hygiene and asked could we help volunteer before we get any hygiene? Of course! David showed them how he dries the buckets before placing them in plastic bags. Afterwards Jennifer asked, "Can you pray for me? He left us after 5 years and took her last $20 out of her savings." Tammy, Kathy and Diane gathered around her to pray. Then Tammy shared resources to get some free community help. |

young volunteers to the rescue
Brenda Andracki, our Inventory Coordinator, had gone shopping for stock. GHHC always goes to the stores with the best prices. Her pickup truck was loaded down. Several neighbor boys had just returned from their bike ride. "Can you guys come with me to help unload?" One young man had finished year at Ft. Hayes and wanted to begin earning his community service hours. The two younger brothers wanted to join him and will continue volunteering over the summer. What a great way for them to earn their community service hours this summer! |
hey hygiene lady
Tammy went to Milestone Pharmacy at Northern Lights to pick up a prescription with her friend Dana. She saw a beautiful blond also waiting in line for her order. She exclaimed, "Hygiene lady, hey hygiene lady. Remember me? You and the ladies at God's Hygiene helped me 3 years ago to sober up. I've now graduated from Medina. I have everything I need--a job, an apartment and all the hygiene I need. Can you give me a hug? I have more than I ever needed thanks to God's Hygiene and I want to give back!"
A man standing in line said, "Me too. I am 3 years sober and clean, working and staying on my medication. I also have my own apartment and have everything I need thanks to God's Hygiene. May I also have a hug?"
Tammy replied, "I'm so proud of you both. Come be a volunteer when you have time." God opened their hearts with the love of Jesus through GHHC. Now two more productive citizens.

former atheist gives back
Several months ago a client came and was parked in the wrong spot, so volunteers didn't see her to take her ID and give her a client order form. She walked up to our door and was very aggravated that we had not waited on her. She was very angry. Lisa told her, "Jesus will help you soon."
"Don't say that to me, I'm an atheist."
When Kathy lost her husband, she came back to GHHC crying with her car full with pillows, blankets, 2 dogs and a cat. Kathy was a veteran and never had been homelesss. She had no place to go and didn't know where to go. All her clothes were dirty. Tammy told her she could sleep in her car underneath the God's Hygiene sign. Tammy then referred her to The Dream Center to get a shower and do her laundry. Kathy did and was so happy. She returned to Tammy all clean. Tammy also referred her to St. Stephen's to get counseling.
Now Kathy wanted to give back. She belongs to a Garden Club which gave her flats of flowers to share with our GHHC volunteers.
Thank you Kathy.
