It was the culmination of a one-month initiative to collect products from the period for menstruation of people in need and to end the stigma around the periods, according to a press release from the Talahasi-Leon County Commission on the condition of women and girls.
“Menstruation is still associated with shame and embarrassment in many communities.

Organizer Daniel Dosier from the Oasis Women and Girls Center said the event aims to help ease the financial burden of buying these products.
“Especially if you are a single mother, you have several girls, children … something like that. Menstrual products are getting as expensive and it can really be like sometimes putting dinner on the plate one night or buying a box with tampons, so we try to change that, “Dosier said.
The organizers of the events said they would soon distribute distribution donations throughout the community. This date has not yet been set.
