Feminine Products Drive to end Period Poverty

The Medicine Hat Skateboard Association is announcing that we are launching a feminine products drive to affect Period Poverty in our community in partnership with Root Cellar Food and Wellness Hub

The Medicine Hat Skateboard Association is doing a trip to Mexico January 1 to 8, 2024. A need of the girls home that we partner with is Feminine Hygiene Products. As we did research locally, it was discovered that there is a major need here in Medicine Hat for these products as many women are choosing between purchasing food for their family and purchasing hygiene products. A couple of suitcases of product will go to the girls home in Mexico with the remainder to go to the Root Cellar in Medicine Hat for distribution locally.

The Medicine Hat Skateboard Association is partnering with the Root Cellar to collect and distribute the products. Melissa Mullis, Executive Director of the Root Cellar “We are so excited to be partnering with the Medicine Hat Skateboard Association to address period poverty in our community. It means a lot to us to come alongside this incredible community organization to support us as we continue to commit to having period poverty products on our shelves for our families. Thank you to everyone who supports this incredible initiative.”
