Product Drive for The Pad Party

Did you know that globally, more than 500 million women, girls and others who experience a menstrual cycle do not have suitable access to menstrual hygiene management? Studies have found that those with challenges accessing products are more likely to report absenteeism, and increased mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety.

This January, Downtown Rotary is teaming up with The Pad Party to collect pads, tampons and incontinence products, which are donated to The Banquet and Promising Futures Fund and distributed to organizations like local shelters and Title I schools.

Bring products to Club meetings in January and they will be shared with The Pad Party during their drive.

The product drive aligns with the Rotary International focus of providing clean water, sanitation and hygiene.
