Gabby Esch, one of our high school youth, and Emma McCleary, one of our Matrix Campus Ministry interns, have been working on an important project – The Pad Project!

Gabby became aware that menstruation products are not donated to shelters as often as other goods are, and it comes down to the cultural stigma around menstruation. She wanted to address this issue by raising awareness and hosting a collection of products for the YWCA in Kalamazoo, and I think she’s come up with a creative way to do this. One of our college interns, Emma, signed on to help with the campaign and increase the reach into the community.

We will be collecting menstrual products for the YWCA, the domestic violence shelter in downtown Kalamazoo. These products are needed by many, however, they aren’t donated often as a result of the stigma around menstruation.

This fundraiser’s goal is to collect these products for those who need them and help decrease the stigma around menstruation.
