About those tampons and pads

A friend posted on facebook that many homeless women and women in shelters don't have proper tampons or pads. They are sometimes forced to use plastic bags etc. My friend was encouraging folks to donate tampons and pads to a health care organization that works with homeless women and women in shelters.
So that's what I'm doing. I'm donating them! I certainly don't need them.

    We accept them, too, at the food pantry where I work.

    Donating depends would also help shelters.

    I worked at a homeless shelter for a few years...

    I gave all of my old supplies to my 20 year old daughter.....nothing like passing things down, huh LOL! Isn't it nice not having to have them in your purse/closets/cabinets?!

    That's great that you are able to help others. I gave mine to the food pantry through my children's school. Though wouldn't you know it, 5 years post-hysterectomy I found two small boxes of tampons shoved under a basket of hair ties and barrettes. I swear I clean my bathroom. Not sure how those were missed. LOL.
