Our @femstrate students from @tywlsastoria are proud to have lead this important initiative! Thank you @NYCSchools for implementing our plan for ALL students in need!
Feminine hygiene products are a necessity – not a luxury. The health and well-being of our young women is more important than ever. That's why we are making our existing inventory of feminine hygiene products available to the public at 211 Meal Hubs across the city.
