How it started. . .
In November, 2022, Capital District Menstrual Health (CDMH) initiative set up multiple Period Pantries in the capital region of NY. In June of 2024, Claire, Annabelle, and Brynn ended their fellowship with Cornell Cooperative Extension and moved on to new adventures. The MoonCatcher Project adopted these pantries and is continuing this amazing work by managing and re-stocking them with help from our dedicated volunteers.
