Dunedin Cares Girl Power June Drive

Posted on by

FEMININE CARE PRODUCT DRIVE

The number of families in the USA needing assistance from food pantries continues to increase every year. The lack of access to menstrual health products for people who are either homeless or low-income is appalling. These necessary products are not covered by SNAP or any other welfare program.  Each month, this leaves countless people without the products many of us take for granted.

During the month of June, please help to support Dunedin Cares’ “Girl Power” feminine care product drive by donating maxi pads, mini pads, panty liners and tampons. Or make a monetary donation to Dunedin Cares (cash, check or online) and identify your donation is in support of our “Girl Power” drive. With your help, we can help so many who cannot afford these necessary products.

Summer vacation increases the financial hardship on families who need to provide breakfast and lunch for their children.

Summer also represents the pantry’s slowest donation months, and our guests’ visits are up 200% from last year! This concern means ALL food donations are needed, and PB&J is just the beginning.

We are 100% dependent on incoming donations all year. Monetary contributions can be made on our website – include team name! $1 = 1 lb.!
