Increasing demand for items like hygiene kits, lice kits, socks, tooth brushes and combs that make it easier for students to attend school.

Boxes of toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo and school supplies are headed
to many dozens of children throughout Michigan as part of the Dress them
for Success program.
DHS staff began shipping out the personal care products and supplies
last week to schools and DHS offices in 22 counties that participate in
Pathways to Potential.
Dress them for Success is being expanded because Pathways success coaches
have noted an increasing demand for items like hygiene kits, lice kits, socks,
tooth brushes and combs -- items that make it easier for students to attend school.
Research has shown that children will struggle in school if they do not have
the necessary tools and supplies to be successful. A key goal of Pathways
is to remove barriers to school attendance.
DHS worked with Kits for Kidz, a company that provides the non-profit community
reliable and affordable alternatives to purchase essential products for the
disadvantaged children in their care.
