From Springfield Mass.-Sometimes women have to choose between diapers for their babies or tampons for themselves. Sometimes those items are sacrificed to pay the rent or electric bill.
“Given
the shut-down of many non-profits and take-away centers during this
COVID-19 pandemic, food banks are allocating their available space for
food items. This means that families may have to choose between food,
paying their electric bill or buying personal care products like
diapers,” said the Rev. Charlotte H. LaForest, rector of St. Andrew’s
Episcopal Church in Longmeadow. “An inadequate supply of these items can
lead to health issues.”
So
when a concern was raised about the need for diapers, feminine products
and incontinence supplies, LaForest and church members formed
Longmeadow Loves, a supply drive throughout the month of May.
