Days for Girls Pennsylvania Collection Point

Days for Girls works to eliminate the stigma and limitations associated with menstruation so that women and girls have improved health, education and livelihoods. To date, we have reached over 3.5 million women and girls with our life-changing menstrual health solutions.

The PA Collection Point receives components for the DfG menstrual health kits from other DfG teams around the country and from individual donors. Locally, GCASC Interact and Global Scholars help out during their club meetings and volunteer hours so that we can get items prepped for packing quickly. We coordinate with the Days for Girls International Project Manager, The Mercer County Career Center for shipping, and other nonprofit partners to make sure the kits are delivered efficiently. We are exceedingly grateful for our host George Junior Republic for allowing us to use a building on their campus, helping us with large packages, and really exceeding our expectations of neighborliness.

Each standard Days for Girls washable kit includes: 2 waterproof shields, 8 liners, 2 panties, 1 carry pouch, a 100% cotton wash cloth, a small bar of soap, and an ovulation chart and directions, all packaged in a drawstring bag. Those are the things you can see. What you might not notice immediately is that those kits also contain: dignity, education, and independence.  These kits and their accompanying education can lift entire communities out of poverty.

To complete these orders we fundraise to purchase supplies.  You can send us monetary donations through: Donate to the PA Collection Point as well as sending needed items directly to us through our Amazon Wish List. The other way to help us is to follow us on social media and share our posts: @dfg_pacollectionpoint  and Facebook. If you are interested in donating your time you can volunteer with us. Please use this email to inquire about volunteer opportunities: pacollectionpoint@daysforgirls.org

Individual Donors and DfG Teams get their shipping reimbursed when they place an order for underwear – through the online resource shop – with the shipping address listing the collection point. You will need to pay for the order and the shipping, then email resources@daysforgirls.org to ask for the shipping to be reimbursed.

Getting DfG underwear at the collection point is a huge help.  This means we do not have to measure/size the underwear because they are already the correct DfG size.  This saves us tons of time!  And this underwear is ethically sourced and made to specifications that we know works well with our DfG products.  

Underwear is our most needed item. Specifically, we need women’s small and medium underwear. Our largest order has requested these sizes.
