Did you know that toiletry items, including soap, aren’t covered by SNAP (U.S. subsidies program), forcing people to have to choose between being clean and having food to eat?

During years of volunteering, S.A.C.K. founder Stacy Wiener discovered the disparity and decided to help. Nearly 20 years and 1 million soap sack donations later, her crusade for dignity through cleanliness perseveres.

S.A.C.K. (an acronym for Supporting A Community with Kindness) is a 501(c)(3) charity encouraging volunteers around the country to crochet, knit, or sew cotton carrying sacks, collect or purchase bar soap, then donate the soap sacks to their local food pantries, homeless shelters, relief efforts, social service agencies, and veterans clinics. This pattern was designed by Vickie and donated to support the initiative.
