Tuscaloosa Alumnae Chapter to Host Dignity Drive Supporting Local Public School Girls
Tuscaloosa, Alabama – The Tuscaloosa Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. will host its Dignity Drive on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Tuscaloosa Career and Technology Academy, 2800 Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, Tuscaloosa, AL 35401.
Under the theme “One Day. Big Impact.”, the community service initiative will collect essential feminine hygiene products for local public-school girls. The drive seeks to help address period poverty and ensure that students have access to products that allow them to attend school and participate in everyday activities with confidence and dignity.
“Access to feminine hygiene products is a basic need, yet period poverty continues to create unnecessary barriers for young girls in our communities,” said Synthia Stanton Jones, President of the Tuscaloosa Alumnae Chapter. “Through the Dignity Drive, we are asking our community to join us in making a meaningful difference. One donation may seem small, but together, our collective support can have a tremendous impact.”
Community members are encouraged to donate sanitary pads, tampons, panty liners, feminine wipes, and discreet storage pouches. Donations may be delivered during the one-day drive. The Tuscaloosa Alumnae Chapter also encourages community members to help spread the word among family, friends, businesses, churches, civic organizations, and other community partners. Every contribution will support the chapter’s goal of helping local girls receive essential products with dignity.
