We don't talk about it on the store site, but a portion of each sale is set aside to help purchase feminine hygiene products for the local (Corpus Christi, TX) homeless and women's shelters.
Tampons and sanitary pads are pretty expensive, and people don't normally think of them when they're donating items to shelters. Not thinking about them doesn't stop the need of course. I'm a guy, so I have never experienced menstruation firsthand. However; I still have an imagination. Just the thought of being out on the street, desperate about so many other things and then having to deal with your period, has to be very stressful.
Of course, being a small company with just a small number sales per month, we can't do a lot - but every little bit helps.
Curious about our stores?
