Montclair Nonprofit Needs Feminine Products: Can You Help?

MONTCLAIR, NJ — The Montclair-based Human Needs Food Pantry is asking for the community’s help restocking a “costly” but “essential” item for its local, in-need clients.

On Thursday, the Essex County food pantry asked for donations of “feminine products of all types,” including liners, pads and more. According to a social media post from the nonprofit:

“Once again, WE NEED YOUR HELP!! We have completely run out of feminine products of all types and are seeking donations of ALL TYPES of these items including liners. pads, etc. They are costly for our clients to purchase and we usually are able to help by providing them. PLEASE include some of these items on your next shopping list and donate them to us! NO WOMAN should have to worry about not having these essential items!! Thank you for your help!”

The pantry’s call for aid inspired an immediate reply from several local residents:

• “I ordered some that should arrive Monday.”
• “Just placed an order for you.”

The pantry will be open for its next weekend donation day on Saturday, July 14 from 10 a.m. to noon. See additional donation days/hours here.
