In the wake of the destruction left by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma in the states of Texas and Florida, there has been no shortage of people willing to come together and step up to help those hit the hardest. Some of the biggest items people initially rush to donate to displaced victims are food, clothing, and blankets.
While those items are certainly needed and appreciated, there is also always a huge need for essential hygiene products such as diapers, maxi pads, and tampons—items that are not provided by disaster relief agencies, shelters, or even by federal low-income assistance programs such as WIC.
