Project Pixie

Project Pixie is located in Woodbridge Township, United States on 55 Willry St. Project Pixie is rated 3 out of 5 in the category created by women in United States. The period problem is the struggle to provide women with an essential need: sanitary items. Every woman knows that feminine hygiene products are an expensive necessity. For struggling women, the expense of monthly feminine products often competes with other living expenses like food and transportation. Women may have to forgo meals or the bus fare needed to get to school or work in order to purchase these necessities. Or worse, they may be forced to put their health and well being at risk by remaining soiled for an extended period of time or attempting to wash and reuse dirty rags. Such practices can lead to skin diseases, hepatitis and other health problems. We’re a community organization that on a mission to serve the needs of homeless and near homeless women and girls by affording them access to much need feminine hygiene products. By focusing on women’s healthcare, Project Pixie works to meet the basic feminine needs of homeless and low-income women and girls. Our mission is to raise awareness of the period problem – a phrase we use to describe the taboo-filled injustices experienced by women around the world – and generate donations of feminine care products and dollars. These donations will, in turn, be used to provide monthly supplies to women in need, ensuring all women remain clean and healthy. Our values are: - We believe that feminine hygiene products are a basic need that all women should have access to, regardless of financial status - We believe that every woman deserves the right to feel beautiful! We empower women and girls with tools and support to allow them to experience healthy, productive menstrual cycles. - We treat everyone with dignity and respect. - We teach people to self-advocate and empower them to become self-sufficient. - We actively build a community of support and compassion in partnership with the community, volunteers, and other agencies committed to advancing the interests of homeless and low-income women.
