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

Download this DVA screensaver from Lifetime Television. It downloads and installs (very simple, really!) in less than 1 minute. "The prevention of violence has to start somewhere. It can start with you, and then you can pass it on to your friends. And then they'll pass it on to their friends. The key to stopping violence is repeating the message everywhere and as often as possible. Why? Because one in three women experiences some form of violence in her life. That means it's about you, your sister, your co-worker, your neighbor and even your daughter. It affects your world."
