There’s a Narcan box in the women’s restroom at Buffalo’s Welfare Building—but it’s been empty for over a year.
There are also no free pads or tampons. Wait times for caseworkers can be 4 to 6 hours. What is a woman supposed to do if she gets her period?
The last time I was there, I quietly placed donated tampons inside the empty Narcan box. A woman thanked me. Then other women began doing the same.
That’s when I knew: we need a permanent solution.
Please help fund and sign the petition to install free period product dispensers in this public building. No one should have to bleed through their clothes while seeking help.
