Organizers are asking for donations of menstrual hygiene products at the pantry's Friday, Nov. 10, launch and ribbon-cutting. The event will take place from 6-8 p.m. at the bar, 1804 W. Martin St.
The pantry is a collaboration between Chiflada's and San Antonio-based PeriodPalooza, a group that gathers period supply donations for underserved Alamo City women. During the party, Chiflada's also will seek cash donations to benefit PeriodPalooza's work. One in six Texas women ages 12-44 live below the poverty line, which can make it difficult to afford feminine hygiene products,"We are dedicated to breaking the stigma around period poverty and ensuring that everyone in our community has access to essential period products,” PeriodPalooza officials said in an emailed statement.— will offer themed treats and drinks for the duration.
