When you’re living unhoused or in a shelter, there are so many questions to think about, so many needs to be met; but there’s at least one we don’t often consider: “Where am I going to get the products I need to deal with my monthly period cleanly and safely?” So we're partnering with Circle of Hope here in Needham to address this need. We’re collecting pads, tampons, pantyliners, & hygiene wipes, all individually wrapped,, which we'll repackage into reusable containers for distribution to folks who need them.
TO DONATE ITEMS, please use this link to our Amazon Registry:
https://tinyurl.com/dmxr35ds (Yeah, it's Amazon, we know. But this ensures we get exactly the products we need in the quantities we need.)
TO DONATE MONEY to the effort, go to www.NeedhamUCC.org/paypal and click on the PayPal link, then select "Period Party" from the dropdown menu.
TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PARTY, join us at the church on 3/15 (parking available in the lot behind the church off Linden Street) to help repackage those donations into individual bags for distribution. Our goal is to assemble 1000 kits, and many hands make light work.
