I taught in an inner city high school for years. This was a school where 100% of the kids ate a free lunch AND breakfast, and a very high percentage qualified for a take-home dinner, and meals throughout the summer. We had a closet where kids could go to get things such as toothpaste, feminine products, soap, etc. There were even eyeglasses and clothing donated locally. So many of these kids had parents who just did not have it together to obtain to these things for their kids - a combination of lack of money and lack of motivation, sadly.
I ALWAYS took home the soap and shampoos from hotels and brought them back to this closet.
