The initiative also raises awareness about how poverty affects women\u2019s ability to obtain these products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite being one of the wealthiest cities in the world, over one million women and girls live in poverty in New York City; additionally, half of all single mothers in NYC earn less than $35,935 per year. Under these circumstances, it can be difficult to obtain a wide variety of needed items, such as diapers, baby formula, and menstrual products. Through the \u201cWoman to Woman\u201d initiative, Food Bank for New York City provides donations of these items to women and families in need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To support this initiative, the Jamaica Hospital has placed collection locations for menstrual products in the Women\u2019s Health Center and the hospital\u2019s main lobby, where you can drop off wrapped items that you would like to donate. You can also <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/give.foodbanknyc.org\/team\/456329?campaignId=328742\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">make a financial contribution by following this link<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
