About the club

The Helping Hands project is designed to show fellow students the unique pressures faced by vulnerable populations in the Montreal area. Thousands of women must choose between necessary expenditures, such as food and medication, and essential hygiene products. We provide women from vulnerable populations with basic necessities in the form of feminine hygiene kits. We give our kits to women who are newly landed immigrants, homeless, marginally housed and living with HIV or other viral illnesses. In a reusable bag, our kits contain sanitary napkins, tampons, wet wipes, panty liners, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, hand cream, shampoo, deodorant, and condoms. Helping Hands has already donated to the Native Women’s Shelter, the Chronic Viral Illness Clinic (CVIS, Glen Hospital), CLSC Parc-Extension, Centre des femmes de Montréal, Logifem, and multiple other shelters in Montreal.
