Female personal hygiene items being collected for area students By Josie Sellers [email protected] COSHOCTON – When Amy Stone found out there were young girls going to school without the personal hygiene products they need, she wanted to find a way to help. After reading on Facebook about a collection a woman did in Heath to help students there, she decided to try one for the Coshocton area. Now through Jan. 3, Stone will be collecting donations of tampons, pads, fragrance free cleansing cloths, panty liners, and Ipsy bags or oth- er small bags that are similar to them. “The Ipsy bags are cute little bags,” Stone said. “It’s a makeup company that sends you a bag every month with makeup. The bags will be used to put the donations in. A lot of teachers are having to pass out items to stu- dents, but these can make it more discreet.” Donations can be dropped off at Shelby Theaters in Coshocton and Haarman’s Pallet Treasures in West Lafayette. Stone also is willing to make arrangements to meet people to pick up donations. She can be contacted through her personal Facebook page or through the Coshocton County Area Schools Donation Group page. “We are going to start with River View and Ridgewood and then hope to have enough to do Coshocton as well,” Stone said. “We want to do all the high schools and junior highs and any extras will go for fifth and sixth grades.” “The bags will be used to put the donations in. A lot of teachers are having to pass out items to students, but these can make it more discreet.” - Amy Stone The products will be available to all girls regardless of income. “Anyone can use these (the donations),” Stone said. “I want to help all the area girls.” While they will accept monetary donations and gift cards and can write receipts, Stone would prefer the products themselves be donated.
