Solidarity in Action: Hygiene Product Collection for the LGBTQIA+ Community in Nice

 

From October 1 to 31, the LGBTQIA+ Côte d’Azur Center is launching a major solidarity collection of hygiene products in recognition of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.

Access to essential hygiene items is a matter of dignity and health, yet for many LGBTQIA+ individuals in precarious situations, these basic products can be out of reach. This campaign aims to bridge that gap, with a focus on specific needs too often overlooked.

The collection seeks donations of everyday essentials such as tampons, sanitary pads, shower gel, shampoo, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, shaving cream, and lotion—anything that can help people take care of themselves with dignity.

Organized in partnership with the national association Règles Élémentaires Mayotte, which fights against period poverty, and with the support of local retailers, the initiative is rooted in solidarity, respect, and inclusion. Every contribution makes a difference.

Drop-off points are available in Nice at the LGBTQIA+ Côte d’Azur Center—both at the community bar and administrative reception on Rue Cathy Richeux—as well as at the Maïoun de Cathy social reception desk at 14 Boulevard Risso. All collected products will be distributed directly to those in need.
