Health Connection Thanks Donors for Supporting Pad and Tampon Drive
Health Connection of Pace Community Action Agency, Inc. extends its heartfelt gratitude to the generous donors who contributed to our recent pad and tampon drive.

Health Connection Launches Pad and Tampon Drive to Support Menstrual Hygiene
Health Connection of Pace Community Action Agency, Inc. is excited to announce the launch of its 4th Annual Pad and Tampon Drive, a two month-long initiative dedicated to supporting menstrual health and wellness in our community. Throughout August and September, we will be collecting menstrual products (pads, tampons, etc.) to ensure that no student must go without the necessary supplies for their menstrual cycle. Our goal is to shed light on the often-overlooked issue of menstrual hygiene and collect essential menstrual products to support individuals in our local schools.
Menstrual hygiene is a fundamental aspect of health, yet it remains a challenge for many individuals due to financial constraints. Health Connection recognizes the importance of ensuring that every student has access to the necessary supplies to manage their menstrual cycle. The Pad and Tampon Drive is a significant step towards raising awareness and addressing need.
Michelle Pitcher, Clinical Services Director stated, "Menstrual poverty often leads to absenteeism from school. In the United States, nearly 1 in 5 girls have missed school due to lack of access to menstrual products. Menstrual poverty is a multifaceted issue that affects education, health, and equality. By raising awareness and providing access to menstrual products, we can work towards a world where menstrual health is a right, not a privilege.”
We invite you to participate by donating products or contributing financially. Contributions will go directly towards creating menstrual hygiene kits that will be distributed to local schools serving vulnerable populations. We will be collaborating with local community partners to maximize the impact of the Pad and Tampon Drive.
Donations of new and unopened packages of sanitary pads, tampons, panty liners, menstrual cups, and other menstrual hygiene products can be donated the following ways:
· You can drop off your donated items at the Health Connection clinic in your local area. You may visit https://www.pacecaa.org/health-connection to find the location nearest you.
· Contact the clinic nearest you for a staff member to arrange pick-up.
· An Amazon Wish List has been developed.
