Pad the First State - 96 Miles of Dignity

Dignity shouldn't be a luxury. In Delaware, thousands of students miss school, and menstruators skip work because they can't access menstrual products. We created Pad the First State to close that gap. Our goal this year? It would take 633,600 pads to cover Delaware if you lay them end to end. Our goal is to collect and distribute 633,600 pads to schools, shelters, and community hubs across all three counties.

Help Us Pad the First State

At Delaware Dignity Project, we believe everyone deserves to feel confident and prepared. When you become a sponsor, you’re helping us fill the gap that programs like SNAP and WIC don't cover. You’ll be joining a community of local leaders dedicated to supporting the 1 in 6 women and girls in our state facing period poverty. Send us an email Hello@DelawareDignity.org to get involved

Why It Matters

  • The Gap: Period products aren't covered by SNAP or WIC.
  • The Impact: When we provide pads, we provide confidence, health, and the ability to stay in school or on the job.
  • The Goal: 633,600 products isn't just a number—it’s a commitment to every girl and woman in Delaware.
