Our Mission
Glow Forward is committed to restoring dignity, confidence, and self-worth by providing beauty and personal care products to unsheltered individuals. We believe that access to self-care is a human right, not a luxury, and we aim to glow forward by spreading hope, uplifting spirits, and reminding every person of their inherent beauty and worth.

Volunteer & TOUCH Hours
Glow Forward recognizes that each COM/SOM may have its own internal process for how students log volunteer and TOUCH hours. Chapters must always follow their institution’s specific guidelines for hour submission, documentation, and verification.
According to the 2025 TOUCH Rules and Regulations (Section VIII.C.1):
Students may earn a maximum of 10 TOUCH hours per cycle for item donation drives.
xStudents may claim no more than 2 TOUCH hours per individual donation drive.
Institutions may determine the minimum donation value needed to earn one TOUCH hour, but this minimum cannot exceed $10.
These rules apply only to item donations; monetary donations are not eligible for TOUCH credit.
Glow Forward abides by these national TOUCH rules, and chapters must follow both:
Their institution’s logging and documentation procedures, and
The national TOUCH program’s regulations regarding donation-drive hour eligibility.
As long as chapters comply with their school’s requirements and the national TOUCH standards, they are free to run their Glow Forward drives in whatever format best supports their community.
