Girl Up Club Hosting Period Product Drive For Pads, Tampons For Women In Need

Press release from the New Trier Township High School District 203:

Across the country, homeless shelters face massive shortages of products that we don't always think about: pads and tampons. In order to support underprivileged women in our local communities, Girl Up Club is hosting a period product drive at New Trier, with opportunities for online and in-person contribution through December 17 .

There are donation boxes around the Winnetka Campus. Items may include pads, tampons and panty-liners. Girl Up also has a Revtrak (linked through the QR code on the poster!) for monetary donations, which will be used to purchase menstrual products for donation.

We want to empower all people to experience their menstrual cycles with dignity. Any contribution, no matter the size, is incredibly valuable, so please consider participating in the drive!
