let's get personal (and real)

Seventh Generation will donate tampons to a women's shelter if you just go
the site below, choose a state, and click. It takes all of 3 seconds. Costs
nothing. You don't get on any mailing lists. Sure, why not? (I checked it
out; it's legit.)

Here's the scoop from their web site:

Women's shelters in the U.S. go through thousands of tampons and pads
monthly, and, while agencies generally assist with everyday necessities such
as toilet paper, diapers, and clothing, this most basic need is often
overlooked. You and I may take our monthly trips down the feminine care
aisle for granted, but, for women in shelters, a box of tampons is five
dollars they can't spare. Here's some good news: you can help us contribute
to rectifying this situation by making a virtual donation below. For each
virtual donation, Seventh Generation will send a pack of organic cotton
tampons or chlorine-free pads to a shelter in your state.
