We are spending $200 per month on a variety of feminine hygiene products. These items serve the needs of our clients who vary in age from teens to senior citizens. We are able to offer panty liners, tampons, menstrual pads, bladder pads and depends style undergarments.

Our female clients are very grateful to have these items available. Since returning to in-person shopping after the Covid pandemic our ladies make sure to ask for or choose the products they need and we are grateful to be able to provide a variety of them.

Summary Comments
The issue of Period Poverty is very real. Women and girls facing food insecurity often do not have extra money available to them in order to purchase needed personal care items. This generous grant has provided our clients with these items and most importantly helps to maintain their dignity. Thank you very much to Hestia Women's Giving Circle.
* I have emailed a copy of our Excel spreadsheet to Jean VanDamn that shows our monthly expenditures through April 13, 2024.
