Describe the challenge you want to address:

Menstrual hygiene products are extremely expensive and non-negotiable necessities to a huge amount of New Yorkers. A lack of them presents severe sanitary, health, and mental consequences. New York women and girls deserve dignity regardless of financial means.

What is the solution to the challenge?

Create a "period pantry," similar to how neighborhood libraries or food drives are conducted. A certain amount of tampons and pads per person available for pickup monthly per donations/city funds.
