About this listen
In this episode of The Six Pack, SixDegrees.org Executive Director Stacy Huston sits down with Sarah Airola, Executive Director of The Grace Network, to shine a light on an often overlooked but urgent issue — hygiene insecurity. With 15% of Chicago Public School students expected to experience homelessness, and over 70% considered economically disadvantaged, access to basic hygiene products becomes a barrier to dignity, confidence, and education.
Sarah shares the heart behind The Grace Network’s mission, the challenges of serving students in crisis, and how simple, everyday items — like deodorant or toothpaste — can have a transformative impact. Through six powerful questions, we explore the organization's work, the reality behind the statistics, and how anyone can be part of the solution.
