Question: How does PERIOD@Penn identify which groups are in need of their assistance in terms of access to hygiene products? - Anonymous
We reach out to shelters in the greater Philadelphia region and ask about their needs at the start of the semester. These shelters support a wide range of communities ranging from the LGBTQ+ community to recovering addicts. We also make care packages and distribute them in center city to anyone who asks for products.
