Barbara\u2019s son had called to tell his mother that he was out of toilet paper, which can\u2019t be bought with food stamps. In the conversation, he also mentioned that his neighbor Carol had told him she couldn\u2019t buy feminine products with her food stamps. \u201cBarb was just shocked and it wouldn\u2019t go away,\u201d says Tom. \u201cBarb was an extremely spiritual person and she decided that the Holy Spirit wanted to her to pursue this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47460\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47460\" class=\"wp-image-47460\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Spotlight-On_-Project-Dignity-Barbie-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Spotlight-On_-Project-Dignity-Barbie-copy.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Spotlight-On_-Project-Dignity-Barbie-copy-284x300.jpg 284w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Spotlight-On_-Project-Dignity-Barbie-copy-970x1024.jpg 970w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Spotlight-On_-Project-Dignity-Barbie-copy-768x811.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Spotlight-On_-Project-Dignity-Barbie-copy-810x855.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Spotlight-On_-Project-Dignity-Barbie-copy-1140x1204.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47460\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cBarb\u201d Barbara Jean Morgan, founder and president of Project Dignity of WNC<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Barbara called up her friends and started to spread the word about the often overlooked issue of period poverty. In 2017, Barbara founded Project Dignity of WNC, a nonprofit that partners with social service organizations to provide period products to women and girls who are homeless, low-income or victims of domestic abuse.<\/p>\n<p>In May of 2021, Barbara passed away after a long illness. Her legacy lives on as Tom has moved into a leadership role as president. \u201cWhile Barb was struggling with her illness, she adopted a meme from the \u2018Finding Nemo\u2019 movie and it kept her spirits high,\u201d says Tom. \u201cNemo\u2019s friend Dory said, \u2018When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming.\u2019 For the team at Project Dignity, we know period poverty is a real life issue that gets many folks down. That\u2019s why we carry on for Barb and just keep swimming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What started off as Barbara with a bag of products and no budget has grown into a robust nonprofit that has more than 450 regular donors. Project Dignity provides pads and tampons to 148 public schools and 59 social service agencies across 10 Western North Carolina counties. \u201cWe believe powerfully and strongly that the dignity of the woman who needs this product is paramount,\u201d says vice president and founding member Debbie O\u2019Malley. \u201cProviding this product to them through these agencies helps take away the worry and fear of not being able to purchase or afford product, or going without food as opposed to getting product that they need. Women typically miss work time and girls miss school time if they don\u2019t have access to product.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Project Dignity doesn\u2019t have direct contact with their clients, they get consistent feedback from their partners that this is a vital service. \u201cOne agency that deals with low-income women, a local food pantry, said the women have come and thanked them because they don\u2019t have to cut up their old clothes for rags anymore,\u201d says O\u2019Malley. \u201cThis is 2021. That should not be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the schools, administrators have noticed that the attendance of female students has improved since period products have been provided to them. \u201cIf they start in school, they don\u2019t have to leave to get product,\u201d says O\u2019Malley. \u201cIf they have an accident they can take care of it at the nurse. It has affected attendance of classes and even at sports programs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re surprised to learn that period products aren\u2019t covered by food stamps, you\u2019re not alone. \u201cThis issue is not being addressed at any level of government,\u201d says Tom, \u201cand people just don\u2019t have an awareness of it. That\u2019s our biggest mission. We\u2019ll handle local logistics, but we need better awareness about period poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an effort to improve welfare coverage for pads and tampons, Tom says he\u2019s often hit a wall. \u201cTrying to get people excited about a product that nobody wants to talk about is really tough,\u201d he says. \u201cThe food stamp program is a massive rock to push up the hill to try to change it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some states, including California and Massachusetts, have made period products exempt from sales tax. In other countries such as Scotland and New Zealand, the products are now freely available in public places. But for now, in most parts of the US and especially in WNC, operations like Project Dignity are the only hope for women who can\u2019t afford pads and tampons.<\/p>\n<p>The past few years have been difficult for the nonprofit amid the struggle of the pandemic and the reorganization after Barb\u2019s passing, but Project Dignity looks forward to a robust 2022 with many fundraising events. \u201cThis issue is not going away,\u201d says Tom. \u201cAs long as there are women and girls out there that don\u2019t have what they need, Project Dignity will keep on doing this work and other agencies will spring up and give us assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/ProjectDignityWNC.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ProjectDignityWNC.org<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2017, Barbara Morgan founded Project Dignity of WNC, a nonprofit that partners with social service organizations to provide period products to women and girls who are homeless, low-income or victims of domestic abuse.
