Help us provide feminine hygiene products to women in need to they can Take Back the Month!
Catholic Social Services of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia (CSS) is holding a Personal Care and Feminine Hygiene Products Drive to help women in need who experience obstacles to obtaining menstrual health products.
Menstrual hygiene management is a fundamental necessity, but one out of five women report being unable to afford feminine products.
Women with lack of proper access to menstrual supplies due to financial hardship or homelessness suffer ill effects to their health and dignity each month. All women should have the ability to hygienically manage menstruation in a safe and dignified manner.
