Help me fight Period Poverty with Dignity Matters!
Hi everyone! We are running the 2026 Falmouth Road Race on behalf of Team Dignity Matters. Dignity Matters is an organization dedicated to addressing period poverty by providing free menstrual products, bras and underwear to females who are homeless or disadvantaged. We are so excited to represent such an incredible organization whose mission is to help individuals regain self-confidence, health and live with basic dignity. Please consider donating to help us reach our fundraising goal of $3,000 for team Dignity Matters!
Description
I'm running the 2025 Falmouth Road Race with Team Dignity Matters to help homeless women manage their periods with dignity. Every $50 you donate provides a woman a year of free menstrual care and underwear!
Did you know you can't buy pads or tampons with SNAP/Food Stamps or WIC?
There's NO state or federal programs that help women in Massachusetts afford menstrual care. These items are expensive and rarely donated, so thousands face a difficult choice: use unhygienic alternatives like rags and toilet paper, or stay home and miss school and work. Lack of access to menstrual care is a “deal breaker:" regardless of the other resources available to them, women and girls cannot stay healthy and thrive without reliable access to menstrual care.
Dignity Matters is the largest nonprofit provider of free menstrual care and undergarments in Massachusetts. They help 17,000 women live with dignity every month - and for most of them, they are their only reliable source of these items. They partner with 180 nonprofit organizations (including shelters, food pantries, and schools) to make menstrual care accessible where these women live.
Dignity Matters gives women the dignity of choosing the size and style of menstrual care and undergarments they are comfortable using, and they make a commitment to each woman and each partner so they know they will have these items every month. Every item is donated by their community, or purchased with your financial contributions - and they stretch your dollar to support more women by using a manufacturing contract to buy items at wholesale prices. Every $50 gives a woman a year of menstrual care and underwear!
Thank you for helping me support Dignity Matters at the 2025 Falmouth Road Race!!
