Grantee Spotlight: Dignity Matters
Access to Menstrual Care for Women and Girls in Poverty

With a $10,000 grant from Women Working Wonders, Dignity Matters is providing critical menstrual care supplies to women and girls living in poverty. This grant translates to 120,000 menstrual pads—enough to cover 5,000 periods, or to provide 416 women with the supplies they need to manage their periods for an entire year.

Through partnerships with organizations including Bedford Community Table, Acton Food Pantry, the International Institute of New England, The Wish Project, and Place of Promise, these products reach women and girls who need them most.

Access to menstrual care means more than supplies—it means health, dignity, and the ability to attend school or work without interruption. We are proud to support Dignity Matters in ensuring women and girls in our community don’t have to face this barrier alone.
