Cleveland, OH — November 1, 2023 — The Aries Foundation Inc., a dedicated non-profit organization, is on a mission to break down barriers and address an urgent need in the heart of the black and brown community. Through their unwavering commitment to providing diapers, wipes, and feminine hygiene products, they are ensuring that the most vulnerable members of our society have access to these essential items.

The issue of diaper poverty, limited access to wipes, and insufficient access to feminine hygiene products affects countless families. The financial burden of these items can create a cycle of hardship, impacting the health and dignity of those facing these challenges.

The Aries Foundation, Inc., recognizes that these basic necessities are fundamental to human dignity and well-being. They believe that no woman should have to compromise her health and self-esteem due to a lack of access to feminine hygiene products.

To tackle these issues, The Aries Foundation, Inc., operates programs that collect, distribute, and advocate for these essential products. By providing black and brown women and families in the community with free access to diapers, wipes, and feminine hygiene products, the organization is working to alleviate the physical, emotional, and financial stress associated with these challenges.

Furthermore, they are actively working to raise awareness about the underdiscussed issues of diaper and period poverty. They believe that awareness is the first step toward change and are dedicated to advocating for a world where every woman and child has access to these vital products without barriers.

Sisters Dawn and Kelli Shanklin, the co-founders of The Aries Foundation, Inc., explains the organization's mission, saying, "Our work is about more than just providing products; it's about restoring dignity, igniting hope, and fostering a sense of belonging. It's about empowering black and brown women to face life's challenges with confidence."
