Project Description:
We know that girls will sometimes stay home from school when they have their menstrual period because they don’t have the appropriate product to use, either tampons or sanitary pads. This fact impacts their mental well being and, of course, the challenge of keeping up with their homework. We also have female senior citizen clients who suffer from some incontinence issues and will use sanitary pads when out and about and/or overnight. We feel that offering these products provides a unique service to our female clients.
Goal of the Project
How many people will you reach?
100
What percentage are female?
100
If your program serves both males and females, how will Hestia funds specifically target women and girls?
Our program does serve men, women and children. These funds would be used to buy feminine hygiene products that only target our female clients. We feel strongly that helping with personal hygiene issues helps alleviate one source of possible stress in a woman's daily life. For those struggling with food insecurities being able to purchase these items drops to the bottom of the list.
How are recipients identified or selected to receive services? Is financial need considered?
The girls and women receiving these products are clients of the Good Neighbors Food Pantry. When a woman or parent of teenage girl shops they can choose one package of the feminine hygiene products offered. Clients are asked to shop once every two weeks. All clients of the GNFP face food insecurity.
What do you hope to achieve? What difference will this make in the lives of women and girls?
How will this project meet Hestia's mission statement?
We want to offer these feminine hygiene products in the hopes that it eases the burden of having to make a choice between this personal care item and food. We will be contributing to the well-being of women and girls.
How will you evaluate or measure your success:
We will measure our success by seeing that the products are chosen from the shelf and the direct thank yous that we get from our ladies.
