From today’s response, support for women’s hygiene should be a regular feature of our Cambridge Food Support program, which served 629 households in May alone.
We need more Tampax. There was a mix-up this morning, and the pads got posted, but not the Tampax. I’m making up for that. As almost every woman can testify, the Tampax items are very, very important.
Pantry Director Sarah wanted me to make sure to thank you for helping her get these very important items to the women who need them.
I’m calling it Woman’s Support Day, and I’m going to post it regularly. The pantry has a women’s shelf for pads and Tampax. They usually end up with little left. Now, the shelves are empty, and Sarah called out for help.
That’s what we do, we help.
Sarah also asked me to thank you for the enthusiastic response to the request for help getting Tampax and Sanitary Pads; the Pantry Women’s shelves are empty, but thanks to the Army of Good, this will soon change.
The two items most in need are:
Thick Maxi Pads for Periods, Super Absorbency, Unscented, 48 Count, 1 Pack, $5.15
Sarah says these are among the most challenging items to get and stock. She is very grateful for the support this is getting; she gets receipts from Amazon as soon as an item is purchased.
She said that of the two, Tampax is the most difficult to find and get and the most in-demand, but all women’s hygiene items are hard for them to get on their shelves.
Thanks to you, I think the shelves will soon be full, and I’ll keep on doing this. This is an important way for us to help.
I want to say thanks also. I would appreciate you being appreciated. Today, the Regional Food Bank released stats for the area. “We served 629 households,” she said. The average number is closer to 550.
There is a great need for food support in America now. We will do our best to help; so far, that is a lot of support. Thank you.
