Zonta Provides Free Period Products
at Crandall Public Library
The Zonta Club of Glens Falls is providing Free Period Products through a partnership with Crandall Public Library. Three “fee free” pad and tampon dispensers have been installed in selected restrooms at the Library. Zonta’s goal is to provide these necessary products to women and girls in our community.
As an integral part of our community, the Library provides an optimal location to launch this initiative in support of women’s everyday needs, addressing the problem of “Period Poverty” which impacts 50 million people in the United States. Cost and access to these necessary products burdens women in all communities.
​
The Club sponsors this program as another step in its goal to “Build a Better World for Women and Girls”. Organic products and dispensers were purchase from Aunt Flow-a woman owned company. www.goauntflow.com
