The student group is collecting feminine hygiene products such as pads, tampons, panty liners, period cups, adult diapers, underwear and sanitary wipes. All donations will be given to local shelters supporting women in need.
Drop-off boxes are available at the following locations:
- Children’s & Women’s Hospital – back employee entrance and labor/delivery boardroom
- Strada Patient Care Center – third-floor break room
- Mastin Building – Office of Student Affairs
- Medical Sciences Building – Office of Student Affairs
Monetary donations may be made to Grace Dunbar, a second-year medical student who is organizing the drive, via Venmo @gracedunbar25.
The OB/GYN Student Interest Group is a part of an international organization called PERIOD, which aims to eradicate period poverty and stigma through service, education and advocacy.
