The story behind our inspiration and vision for this project……….
We have all heard of food pantries, but what about a pantry dedicated to feminine hygiene products? A recent study showed that 64% of women struggle to afford period products and 21% of women can’t afford them at all. There are no public assistance programs to help with the cost of these products. The League will hold a drive for products this Spring to obtain inventory to stock the pantry, with local businesses assisting in collection. In the future, the period pantry will operate much as a food-pantry does, dependent on donations to be dropped off. The first period pantry will be in midtown, and is slated to be finished before the summer. To stay in the know on product drives, pantry location(s) you can also follow our Facebook or Instagram pages.
