Advantia Health Period Product Drive – May, 2024
This May, we are hosting the 2nd annual Advantia-wide drive for menstrual hygiene products (tampons, pads, liners, menstrual cups).
Did You Know?
16.9 million people who menstruate are living in poverty in the United States. These people may not have access to menstrual products, which can increase the risk of infection, impact school and work attendance, and negatively impact mental health. Menstrual hygiene products are one of the most frequently requested, but least frequently donated items to shelters and food pantries.
What to donate?
- New, unopened packages of pads and liners of all sizes
- New, unopened packages of tampons of all sizes
- New, unopened packages of menstrual cups of all sizes
Where will the items go?
- Each Advantia Health location will donate to a local charity. Reach out to your local provider or check out the list of charities below to find out where items will be donated.
How long will the drive run?
