Our mission is to provide individuals in need with essential personal hygiene products so they can attend school and work and participate in community life without interruption.
Each month, millions of women and girls suffer the indignity of not having adequate hygiene supplies. Our response? To join with other Federations around the county and launch the Dignity Project. We will be collecting, storing and distributing personal hygiene items. Each Dignity Kit is in a plain reusable bag.
Our goal is to distribute the Dignity Kits to teens and women in the community who are struggling to obtain these supplies. We will distribute to LBUSD middle & high schools, women’s shelters and homeless shelters in Long Beach. We need Women’s Philanthropy and volunteers to donate supplies (all unopened items), donate money to purchase the supplies, and help assemble and distribute the kits. Let us work together as women to help other women have the dignity we all deserve. A $36 donation will cover the cost of one of these monthly packages and ensure that a woman can care for herself with the right supplies and self-respect. Please contact Susan Paletz, Director of Fund & Community Development Jewish Long Beach for volunteer and donation information at spaletz@alpertjcc. org 562.426.7601 ext. 1012.
