The Feminist Organization Rallying for Gender Equity is continuing to accept donations for their Menstrual Products Drive, which will help continue supporting FORGE’s Bathroom Project for Period Poverty.
For this initiative, FORGE teamed up with Undergraduate Student Government and Wellness Connection to work towards providing free menstrual products in all of the public bathrooms within the academic buildings on campus.
As a student-run organization, FORGE has worked hard to fund the project itself and to continue providing free menstrual care products for anyone who needs them.
For this drive, FORGE is accepting packages of tampons, liners and pads. This includes individual products as well, as long as they are still in their original packaging.
Monetary donations through Venmo @HOPEMC containing $2 will be eligible for one ticket as long as they send the payment with “Period Product Project” in the message along with your name. Those who donate from six to 36 products will receive two tickets and those who donate more than 36 menstrual products will earn four tickets.
Menstrual products can be donated anytime in room 280 in Hayes Hall and 404 in the Bowen-Thompson Student Union. FORGE will also be tabling on the first floor of the Union on Thursday, Nov. 10 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
