#BeAGiver Spring Showers Hygiene Drive

Our 2026 #BeAGiver Spring Showers Hygiene Drive is underway! Through April 30, we will be collecting hygiene items to help stock our GIVE Center. These items help give people visiting our GIVE Center a sense of care, dignity and stability, no matter what challenges they may be facing.

Host a Hygiene Collection

Organize and host a hygiene collection at your workplace or community site! This year, instead of placing bins at partner locations, we’re encouraging organizations to run their own collections. Then, you can drop off all those donated items with our GIVE donations team (schedule a donation drop off appointment).

Donate Hygiene Items at Community Collection Sites

You can also drop off hygiene donations at participating Denver Parks and Recreation centers and the Wellington Webb Building (atrium). Find locations using the map or dropdown box below:
