School Hygiene Opportunity Program (SHOP)

Requests are due no later than July 31, 2024, at 3 pm.


The Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission (OVRDC) is a regional planning commission serving southern Ohio.  OVRDC recognized an unmet need for personal hygiene products for junior high and high school students in our region. Using money leftover from a Covid personal protection equipment grant, a grant program was designed to provide schools with hygiene products for their students. Currently, this is a one-time program, but we hope to find the funds to continue it in the future.
