May is National Menstrual Health Awareness Month, and this year, BRAWS is excited to have a month full of collection drives, events, and local business partnerships. Read below for more information and check back often to see updates.
28+ Collection Drives
Inspired by the 28-day menstrual cycle, BRAWS is organizing 28+ collection drives throughout the month of May to provide essential menstrual products and undergarments to shelters, schools, and community pantries across our region.
Access to these basic necessities is often overlooked, yet it directly impacts health, dignity, and opportunity. Too many individuals are forced to miss school, work, or daily activities simply because they lack access to menstrual supplies and properly fitting undergarments.
Interested in hosting one at your home, business, place of worship or elsewhere? Click the button below to sign up and access the Collection Drive Toolkit. Questions? Please email Beth at volunteer@supportbraws.org
