Hygiene is a basic need, not a luxury
Each month, Interfaith’s emergency food pantry serves more than 300 women and adolescent girls. We provide 20 pads or tampons to each of those women every time they visit our program. That equates to over 103,000 menstrual products each year.
Feminine hygiene products are not covered under any federal assistance programs and cannot be purchased with WIC or SNAP benefits.
We need help from our community to provide this basic necessity. Interfaith Social Services' food pantry welcomes donations of packaged feminine hygiene products (items must be packaged - we are unable to distribute individual pads and tampons).
We need your help! Please consider donating hygiene products, or make a monetary donation to support this effort.
Free.
Free. (pronounced as "Free, period") provides menstrual hygiene products to anyone in need and is an ongoing ministry offered by St. John the Evangelist in Hingham, MA. They provide Interfaith with deliveries of products to distribute to clients.
Donations may be dropped off at the Food Pantry during these hours:
