Click to donate - 60 Seconds for DVA
Women's shelters in the U.S. go through thousands of tampons and pads monthly. Assistance agencies generally help with expenses of "everyday" necessities such as toilet paper, diapers, and clothing, but one of the most BASIC needs is overlooked - feminine hygiene products.
Seventh Generation, a green paper products and cleaning products company, has a do-good attitude and will donate a box of sanitary products to a women's shelter in your chosen state - just for clicking the link: www.tampontification.com/donate.php
We've updated 60 Seconds for DVA http://www.axomtm.org/60 to include this item. We hope Alpha Chi Omegas everywhere will participate!
