Our Story

Dignity Matters began after Kate Sanetra-Butler, formerly a corporate executive and now a mother of two residing in Wayland, Massachusetts, was asked by a young homeless woman in Copley Square, Boston for a spare tampon. The unexpected encounter in June 2016 turned out to be transformational.

Further inquiry into the reality of life for homeless women, which uncovered a desperate need: women at homeless shelters very often have to go without feminine sanitary products and underwear.

Most people wrongly assume that if a woman receives SNAP benefits (formerly Food Stamps) or uses homeless shelter services, then such basic items are provided. People also assume that all public schools supply sanitary napkins to girls who need them. This could not be further from the truth: women can’t use SNAP benefits to purchase sanitary products or bras for themselves or their daughter, and despite their best efforts, most shelters and public schools in Massachusetts cannot cope with the demand for these products.
