When a person is experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, they need to make choices that no person should ever have to make - Do I provide food this week or purchase a box of tampons for an upcoming menstrual cycle? If I cannot afford new underwear, can I afford to ruin the single pair I have left? How will I get a job to improve my situation if I am not able to shower for weeks with soap?

We began in 2016 with a menstrual drive to provide a basic human need to people experiencing homelessness. Our goal seemed lofty, to serve 1,200 people with menstrual products. Since that time, we have distributed over 900,000 hygiene products to people in need!

• We have improved the Physical health for people experiencing homelessness.

• We have helped people feel clean and dignified in one of the hardest times in their lives.

• We have saved nonprofit staff hours of time in sorting and collecting products, ensuring they can better focus on their Missions and clients.

• And we have engaged more than 1000 volunteers to achieve these goals!

By the end of the year, we plan to distribute our 1 millionth product. Thank you to the donors and volunteers who have helped get us here today, and will help us continue to serve people in need!
