SAIVA

By Shibhany Nandhakumar

From February 1st through February 28th, we held a hygiene product donation drive to support women battling breast cancer.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we collected a wide range of essential items, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soft tissues, feminine hygiene products, and other helpful toiletry items!

With the donations, our team came together on April 27th at the AARC. In which we assembled approximately 100 toiletry bags.

Each of our bags was handmade with love for people going through these hard times.

The bags are scheduled to be picked up in May and will be included in care packages that will be distributed in both Austin and San Antonio.

We are proud to contribute to a cause that brings relief and support to those affected by breast cancer, and we’re grateful to everyone who donated or volunteered their time to make this possible!

We’d also like to give a special shoutout to one of our incredible teen volunteers, Tanvi. As part of the donation drive, Tanvi played a key role in organizing breast cancer care supplies.

Community members dropped off items at her house, and she took the time to thoughtfully sort and group everything.

Her dedication and attention to detail made the care bag packing process much smoother and more organized.

We’re so grateful for her help and heart! If you would like to be apart of more of these community services please visit saiva.org.

We’re always looking forward to having more volunteers to help support our cause and help with community service!
