Thanks for investing in the well-being of our community!
I've had a couple different jobs in which I've supported adolescents and women with no means of getting their own hygiene supplies. It was eye-opening to have folks identify a need that embarrassed them (like tampons or appropriately-fitting bras) and to be unable to supply them with said need.
There are more than 1,800 homeless women living in Spokane each day. Meeting their basic needs can be a struggle for VOA's Hope House and Transitions' Women's Hearth. Imagine not having access to bras, underwear and personal hygiene items due to poverty and homelessness. Physiology and biology are facts of life and women shouldn't be punished because of it. You can help! Give monetary donations, bras, underwear, deodorant, razors, tampons and 2-hour bus passes for women experiencing homelessness in Spokane and accessing services at Women's Hearth (day-time drop-in women's center) and/or Hope House (overnight women's shelter). Please help me support those in need in our community!
