2nd Annual Menstrual Products Drive
In an effort to address the issue of “Period Poverty,” the Fond du Lac Area Women’s Fund is partnering with United Way agencies in Fond du Lac and Dodge counties, as well as the Ripon Area United Way, for the 2nd annual That Time. Menstrual Products Drive.

We plan to respond to the need of as many as one-third of families in the county having difficulty purchasing menstrual products for their children. School personnel have reported that often youth are missing school during their periods, due to the shame of not having products available to them.
The drive seeks to assist middle and high school youth throughout Fond du Lac County schools with products related to having their periods. Students in Oakfield, Campbellsport, North Fond du Lac, Waupun, Rosendale, and Ripon, as well as St. Mary’s Springs, will benefit from the drive. (Fond du Lac School District was the sole beneficiary of the 2021 drive and has ample product to last through this school year.)
White product collection bins, generously donated by Menasha Corporation, are scattered throughout the county as follows:
