Menstrual Access Drive
May 19 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
The community is encouraged to support women and girls through a menstrual access drive addressing period poverty in the region.
Organizers have spent years providing advocacy, education, and product distribution. More than 800 women and girls received essential hygiene items last year, helping them attend school and work with dignity. Continued donations are needed to sustain the effort.
Supplies of tampons are currently sufficient. Donations of menstrual pads and new underwear, with tags or in unopened packages, are needed.
Drop-offs are accepted May 14 through June 30, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at YWCA Southeastern Massachusetts, 20 South Sixth St., New Bedford.
For more information, to ask questions, or to request products, contact Brittany Coker at BCoker@ywcasema.org or 508-999-3255.
