Help us help women. We're stronger together.

The Nebraska Collaborative Center and McGill Law are taking part in a drive to collect pads, tampons, and other feminine hygiene products to donate to women in need through Girls Inc. throughout the month of June. We have a donation drop-box located in the vestibule that the public has 24/7 access to (should you decide to donate on the weekend after a trip to the store...) as well as a drop box in our lobby.

• Recently, Procter & Gamble announced they would be raising prices on products like Always and Tampax this fall because raw materials are getting more expensive.

• Did you know one third of women have struggled to buy period products during the pandemic?

• The SNAP & WIC program, which helps provide healthy food to women and children, does NOT cover access to hygiene items like period products.

• More than 4 in 5 students in the U.S. have either missed class time or know someone who has missed class time because they did not have access to period products.

• 30 states tax menstrual hygiene products as luxury items, including Nebraska. Nebraska’s tampon tax bill, LB 170, was introduced by Senator Megan Hunt in January 2019. It has been indefinitely postponed since August 2020.
