Justice Necessary

💖 Overture Packing Project
2026-03-03
Each month, residents at Overture come together to pack period products and laundry detergent sheets for neighbors in need as part of their ongoing volunteer partnership with Justice Necessary. Their dedication helps address a growing challenge across the state—46% of Coloradans struggling to access hygiene products experience hygiene poverty. Through their continued support, Overture residents are helping ensure more families have access to essential hygiene items.
This is a closed event. Interested in volunteering? Contact us at volunteer@justicenecessary.org!

🗓️ Menstrual Product Grant Application Deadline
2026-03-02
Applications must be completed and submitted no later than March 2, 2026 at midnight.
For the 2026–2027 school year, the Justice Necessary Menstrual Grant will provide selected, eligible schools with a one-time supply of essential menstrual products—including dispensers, pads, and tampons—to support students.
This grant is intended to supplement, not replace, funding available through the Menstrual Products Accessibility Grant established under Colorado law. Under HB24-1164, “Free Menstrual Products to Students,” which took effect June 30, 2025, schools are required to phase in free menstrual products across student restrooms, reaching full compliance by June 30, 2028. Rather, the Justice Necessary Menstrual Grant is designed to provide additional product support to assist schools with compliance with HB24-1164.
Visit the grant web page to learn more and apply.

NoCo NOW Packing Party
February 10, 2026
Hygiene poverty is on the rise in Colorado—especially for women. Justice Necessary’s 2022 and 2024 studies on period poverty, diaper need, and hygiene poverty document a growing number of women in our communities struggling to access essential items, including a 13% increase in period poverty, a 19% rise in diaper need, and a 10% increase in overall hygiene poverty.
To help bring relief to those most impacted, Justice Necessary is proud to partner with the Northern Colorado chapter of the National Organization for Women (NoCo NOW) for a packing party that will assemble hygiene kits for our most vulnerable neighbors.

❤ Junior League Packing Party
2026-02-07 09:00 - 12:00
Justice Necessary’s 2024 Study on Women’s Period Poverty, Diaper Need, and Hygiene Poverty showed that almost two-thirds of women in Colorado struggled to afford basic hygiene items—a 10% increase since our previous study in 2022. That’s why Justice Necessary is excited to partner with the Junior League of Denver on a Done in a Day service project, where we’ll be packing hygiene supplies to support pantries and community organizations across Colorado. Learn more about the Junior League’s service projects.
