Today, Sarah asks if we can help the 170 children and their families stay clean and freshen up, something their budgets don’t always allow regularly. Sarah has installed a “Keeping It Clean” shelf beside the new kitchen utensils.
This is key to good hygiene and morale. It also prevents the children from bullying and taunting, a continuing issue for many pantry members.
New pet food shelf.
My two cents: Doctors say maintaining cleanliness helps prevent the spread of germs and bacteria, reducing the risk of infections and illnesses. Regularly cleaning surfaces, especially in kitchens and bathrooms, is crucial for hygiene. Mental Well-Being: A clean and organized environment can improve mental clarity and reduce stress.
The physical act of cleaning can also release endorphins, which affect mood. Dr. Roeske of Newport Health Care states that cleanliness “is hugely beneficial as a pain reliever, stress reliever, and overall enhancement of our well-being.”
