Women who experience period poverty are unable to
purchase the menstrual products they need, and in many cases, this means that
they cannot go to school or work or otherwise participate in daily life. The
Social Action team of Sisterhood will continue the work to gather donated small
products and distribute them to the community. Our distribution partners
include the Somali American Council of Oregon (SACOO). We know that our
donations fly off the shelves, as the demand is HUGE and ongoing.
We continue to encourage you to drop off small
packages of menstrual pads in the collection bins in the
Sherman Education Building and in the Pollin Chapel foyer.
