Recent contact with the Women's Resource Center highlighted a need for women's sanitary supplies as crisis displacement often leaves them without basic necessities. As a result, they need tampons, sanitary napkins, and toilet paper. There will be a donation box in the lobby by the kitchen should you care to donate.
Thanks so much!
