Description2021 City of Tempe Diversity Award Winner Kay Wright dedicates her time to ensuring women of all socio-economic circumstances have femenine hygiene items projects. She started Women4Women to distribute women's hygiene and incontinence products to homeless, Native American and low-income women who had no other way to get them. She and her members have distributed thousands of these items to women, tirelessly and continually, for several years. In October alone, the organization distributed more than 1,400 products. While her primary purpose at Women4Women is providing feminine hygiene to women, she also takes the time to sit with those she helps, to share a story or learn a name. She is truly loved by our homeless community. She has made women's hygiene products a needed item rather than something hidden or to be ashamed of, as social construct has done these last centuries. That in itself takes courage.Status
