Supporting Our Community with Simply the Basics


Provident Credit Union managers united as a team to make a difference, one hygiene kit at a time.

During a recent leadership meeting, our team paused the agenda to focus on something even more meaningful: giving back. In partnership with Simply the Basics, the nation’s first hygiene bank, Provident staff packed 250 hygiene kits for people in need throughout our local communities.

Simply the Basics helps individuals meet their most basic needs with dignity, providing essential items like soap, toothbrushes, deodorant, and more to those experiencing hardship or homelessness. By supporting this mission, we’re helping eliminate hygiene insecurity and improve health outcomes for neighbors across the Bay Area.

At Provident, we’re proud to champion community well-being—not just through financial services, but through hands-on service. We believe that dignity, compassion, and connection are powerful forces for change.

Stay tuned for more ways we’re giving back and living our mission.
