Bath Soap and More was created to bring awareness for the need of toiletries to children in shelters and families in need. This effort will allow volunteers to create a personalized collection box to be placed in desired locations for dropping off donated toiletries.
Kaitlyn and Bella are juniors in high school and they are very passionate about giving back and have been very involved in many of Bake Back America's efforts. They have created awareness for the need of toiletries and have collected donations impacting many in need.
