SU Works to Combat Period Poverty with Donations to Area Schools, Community Organizations
SALISBURY, MD---黑料网 is doing its part to end period poverty by partnering with several organizations to make free feminine hygiene products available to the greater community.
The program is made possible by SU’s partnership with publisher Condé Nast. Last semester, representatives from the company’s magazine brand Teen Vogue visited SU, distributing free feminine hygiene products to students in collaboration with U by Kotex and the Alliance for Period Supplies.
The initiative helped support Freedom, Learning and Advocacy for Reproductive Equity (FLARE), SU’s student chapter of Planned Parenthood Generation Action, which provides free feminine hygiene products on campus. Following the event, featured on Teen Vogue’s social media sites, representatives donated several pallets of supplies to the University.
SU recently shared those supplies, donating pallets and cases to organizations including the Hope and Life Outreach Ministry (HALO), Help and Outreach Point of Entry, Inc. (HOPE), the Life Crisis Center, Diakonia, the Village of Hope, Salisbury Urban Ministries, and Christian Shelter, Inc., as well as Wicomico County Public Schools, among others.
The University also donated to the Wicomico County Commission for Women to help stock the Eastern Shore’s first Little Pink Pantry, a free menstrual care initiative at the Newton Street Community Center in Salisbury — believed to be the first of its kind on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
Beyond Wicomico County, SU provided supplies for the Atlantic Club and SonRise Church in Worcester County and to the Seton Center in Somerset County.
