DIGNITY MATTERS
There is a menstrual product fundraiser going on at the high school until October 20th. Menstrual product items are considered a luxury and therefore many shelters do not carry them. Possible donation items include tampons, pads, panti liners and diva cups. Donations can be dropped off in the “Dignity Matters” bin in the main foyer below the front staircase. For any questions, please contact Maddie Curmi at mdcurmi2022@email.medfield.net

There are two ways to donate:
1. Go to our website https://www.medfieldhspto.com/ and click on the DONATE button.
