Through a partnership with Take a Tampon, a student organization at the University of Kentucky, Helping Hygiene has provided free and accessible menstrual hygiene products and education across the Lexington community.
Helping Hygiene's menstrual hygiene product donations have helped Take a Tampon to provide baskets of free products around the University of Kentucky's campus. The baskets utilize a "Pay It Forward" initiative, asking students to take a product if they need and leave one if they can.
​
High Schools
Helping Hygiene and Take a Tampon have provided baskets of menstrual hygiene products to high schools such as the Family Care Center's Parent Education Program. During the partnership with the high schools, Helping Hygiene and Take a Tampon will disseminate a survey to students and faculty to assess the need for products and education in the community.
Food Banks
Helping Hygiene and Take a Tampon have donated over 300 menstrual hygiene products to the Community Action Council and the Big Blue Pantry.
Helping Hygiene and Take a Tampon create education on menstruation to combat the stigma surrounding menstruation and to increase one's knowledge of menstrual cycles and menstrual hygiene.
