An Amazing Show Of Support For Dignity

This April, our community showed up in a remarkable way.

Because of hundreds of donors, volunteers, businesses, schools, and community partners, Spring Showers for Dignity surpassed its goal and can provide 445,400 hygiene items to local students.

That means more students walking into school with confidence. More families receiving relief. More school nurses equipped to support students beyond the classroom.

Thank you for helping ensure students and families have the basics they need to thrive.

Across the country, conversations around hygiene poverty and period access are growing.

May is Menstrual Health Awareness Month, when organizations nationwide are highlighting how lack of access to menstrual products impacts school attendance, confidence, and student success.

Research shows:

Nearly 1 in 4 students struggles to afford period products.

Many students miss class because they lack access to the products they need.

Hygiene products are not covered by SNAP or WIC benefits.

At Giving the Basics, we see the impact of hygiene access every single day. Want to get involved? Host a feminine hygiene drive.
