These three women live in Brockport and they all have unique names: Scarlett, Taysie and Cilla. I have known them for quite a while, and I’d like everyone else to be introduced to them.
Scarlett developed the Community Hygiene Bank (CHB) in our area in 2017. It provides daily hygiene items such as toothbrushes, deodorants, paper towels, toilet paper and cleaning products for individuals and families who are not able to afford these most basic health care needs. The CHB was originally located in a church across from Wegmans which closed in 2021, but it is now housed at Jubilee Christian Church in Clarkson, where she continues this “Mission” for the surrounding Brockport school district and adjacent areas. The Community Hygiene Bank continues to thrive. She asks for donations from individuals, area churches, local businesses and organizations around the area. The CHB is totally operated by volunteers. Many college students help her out, as well as people across our community from high schoolers to seniors.
Taysie and Cilla are two amazing women who thought about how many people in our area are underserved and need help. They came up with a great way to help people not only locally, but also included people in Albion, Clarendon, and Rochester with the Community Clothesline in Brockport.
