The Kiwanis Club of Covington reached out to local middle schools in our community to determine what specific needs we might be able to meet for children in our community, and they indicated that there are many students in our middle schools who do not have the feminine hygiene products they need each month and that this prohibits some students from attending school several days each month, and the school nurse is the sole supplier of these crucial products for many middle schoolers in our community.
In March, our club initiated a drive to collect pads, tampons, and related items and spread the word to several other organizations to ask for their contributions as well. When all items were collected, our club boxed up ten extra-large moving boxes worth of supplies and delivered two boxes of items to each of the five middle schools in Newton County.
Our club was excited to be able to meet an urgent, specific need of children in our own own county, and the schools were so grateful for our help. We intend to continue to support Newton County students in this way in the future as well. Kiwanis is all about "Serving the Children of the World," and we love being able to serve the local children right here in our community most of all.
