Upper Cumberland Pride needs your help! Roots Salon is having a feminine hygiene drive! 💜

You can donate feminine hygiene products at 809 West Jackson St. or directly at Roots Salon. End of month we will drop off any donations we receive.

Our next meeting is October 7th, and we encourage everyone attending to bring an item to support this important cause. If you have questions, please reach out to Roots Salon.

Period poverty affects many people in our communities:

• 1 in 3 adolescents have difficulty accessing menstrual products.
• About 25% of U.S. adolescents experience period poverty.
• Nearly 12 million females in the U.S. struggle to access menstrual products.
• 64% of low-income women have been unable to afford needed menstrual products.
• Many people are forced to miss school, work, or other activities when they don’t have access to these essential items.

Every donation makes a difference! 💜

The Upper Cumber and Pride board would like to wish our incredible fellow board member, Hillary Huddleston, a very happy birthday!

Whether she is working in politics, championing LGBTQ+ issues, or raising awareness across our entire community, her dedication is truly inspiring. She is an invaluable asset to our board, and we simply cannot imagine this team without her passion and leadership.
