Crimson Kit Collection to take place throughout November

Throughout the month of November, Clinic Sofia will be collecting period products to provide to women experiencing homelessness or temporarily displaced from their homes. We will accept pads, tampons, pantyliners, menstrual cups, hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes, underwear, chocolates, and anything else you can think of that a woman might need to help make having a period a little bit easier! The items will be assembled into individual “Crimson Kits” containing the resources needed for an average period. The kits will be brought to People Serving People and Haven Housing to distribute to the women these wonderful organizations serve. Items can be dropped off at Clinic Sofia's Edina or Maple Grove offices.  If you have questions or wish to donate but are unable to make it to either of our offices during the month of November, please call or e-mail our office.
