Marty McFly would have been jealous of the Back to the Basics Open House, hosted by Giving the Basics on October 26th! The “Back to the Future” themed event welcomed more than 200 guests to learn more about the organization’s mission of providing hygiene products for human dignity – the necessities of life such as shampoo, deodorant, and toilet paper. Attendees enjoyed a buffet, games, a time machine photo booth, and, of course, the DeLorean Time Machine car.
