BNSF’s Building Products group recently participated in a “Day of Caring” event in partnership with the Compass Housing Alliance, an organization that provides housing, shelter and support services to people experiencing homelessness and poverty in the Puget Sound region.
More than 1,500 hygiene kits were produced for people in crisis by the Building Products team. The kits include soap, shampoo, lotion, deodorant and toothpaste. Jenny Marquette, Community Resource Coordinator for Compass Housing Alliance, explained to the group that it is difficult to keep up with the high demand for hygiene kits in the summer months.
