Many people with economic challenges do not have access to menstrual health products, which are not covered by any public benefit assistance. To promote menstrual health equity, we’re supporting ManyCanWear, a not for profit organization created by our own Bella Bernstein, by placing a colorful collection box in the Lobby. All hygiene products you donate will stock the “Period Pantries,” located in our most underserved neighborhoods. Contact Judy Kahn for more information.
