Hygiene Kits Available in Temple for Those in Need

It's been a week since the sun finally came out and started thawing a frozen Central Texas, but many of our friends and neighbors are still dealing with the aftermath.

There've been reports of people who are still without water at apartment complexes or in private homes that experienced ruptured pipes. With no water available, daily routines we take for granted become difficult or even impossible, including taking a shower for work and cleaning up around the home.

If you're a Temple area resident dealing with lack of water right now and could use some supplies, Heart to Heart International has donated hygiene kits to a number of locations across the city.
