Families struggle to afford menstrual care in the summer when donations go down and budgets get stretched to afford food their children get for free during the school year. PLEASE donate pads - we distributed 600,000+ items in May and we need your help to do it again in July! Visit https://linktr.ee/dignitymatters to order from our wishlist, find a local bin, or send a donation. THANK YOU!

Thank you, MassBay, for your partnership and for this tremendous honor!

Being recognized by our partners for making a difference in their community is 💯! Thank you to MassBay Community College President David Podell for presenting Dignity Matters with the Presidential Award at your commencement in May. MassBay was our first Dignity on Campus partner, and 4 years later we have provided thousands of students free menstrual care so they can go to class and graduate into a world of new opportunities! Congratulations to fellow awardees Hope & Comfort and the Metrowest Women's Fund (who has generously supported our work, too), and to all the new MassBay graduates and their families!

Stop period poverty by talking about period poverty! 🗣️🙏

It's Period Poverty Awareness Week! One of the best ways to STOP period poverty is to TALK about period poverty. Most people don't know that women in their community are going without menstrual care - or that they can help by supporting Dignity Matters or an organization in their state! Help us spread the word and make a difference this week.
