Greetings Community,

The Red Wrap Initiative is underway! We are excited to be partnering with two women’s shelters in New York City area in both Brooklyn and Manhattan.

The Initiative is comprised of two main parts: the donation drive  and the distribution event. In recognition of Women’s History Month, beginning on International Women’s Day, March 8, 2018, we will collect feminine hygiene products (maxi pads/sanitary napkins, tampons, and panty liners)  to support homeless women in NYC. The donation drive will last until May 21, 2018, ending  one week prior to the distribution event set to take place on Menstrual Hygiene Day,  May 28, 2018. Please send all donations to:

Red Wrap Initiative 

P.O. Box 902

Orange, NJ 07051

We are forming a total of two teams to staff the distribution event at each location. The distribution events will begin at 12:30 PM and  include sorting and distribution of donated supplies as well as a 15 – 30 minute workshop on reproductive and menstrual health and hygiene.

We need volunteers! For those of you who are interested in donating or volunteering, please visit the Red Wrap page and complete the registration form. 

While New York City correctional facilities, shelters, and public schools can now provide access to feminine hygiene products, varying individual demands ensure that the need for adequate supplies still exist. Menstrual hygiene products remain one of the most needed resources, yet the least donated…
