DONATE TODAY: Menstrual Hygiene Day promotes global advocacy of menstrual health and hygiene for all women and girls. Support KAC’s International Awareness and Involvement by donating feminine pad products from now through April 24, 2023.
Anyone can donate! Donations will be used for menstrual health baskets for female international students at Bearden Middle, Northwest Middle, Austin-East High, and West High.
Menstrual Hygiene Day (MH Day) is a global advocacy platform that brings together nonprofits, government agencies, individuals, the private sector, and the media to promote good menstrual health and hygiene (MHH). According to WASH United, 500 million women and girls around the world don’t have what they need to manage their periods safely, hygienically, and without shame. This is due to a combination of lack of access to period products, lack of education about menstruation, and inadequate water and sanitation infrastructure.
Menstrual Hygiene Day promotes global advocacy of menstrual health and hygiene for all women and girls. Support KAC and drop off feminine pad products & monetary donations at our drive-through collection at the Public Works Service Center, 3131 Morris Avenue on May 19th, 2022 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. Paypal donations will be taken May 6th through May 19th via the KAC website. Donations will be used for menstrual health baskets for female international students at Bearden Middle School. Questions?

Join the Knoxville Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority for May Week 2021!
May Week is a national program of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. It was created at the second national convention at Wilberforce University in 1920. Its purpose is to emphasize the importance of higher education in the community, especially for black women.
Today the Knoxville Alumnae Chapter’s Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy girls picked up their program supplies! We’d love to see all of our girls in person as we enrich and enhance their education. We focus on math, science, and technology, their opportunities to provide service in the form of leadership, but the work must go on virtually! #ServiceInOurHeart#dstknoxville#DST1913#SRDST

Therefore, we strongly advocate for medical professionals in our city/county to lead the efforts to keep Knoxville/ Knox County residents safe.Please read the full statement submitted to Knox County Commission.#dst1913#dstknoxville#SRDST#PowerInOurVoice
