MFHS Receives Grant from Carbon County Community Foundation to Provide Free Hygiene Products

We are pleased to announce we have been awarded a $1,000 grant from the Fund for Carbon County, an unrestricted fund of the Carbon County Community Foundation. This grant will support MFHS’s efforts to distribute personal hygiene and infant care products at no cost to individuals and families in need throughout Carbon County.

The funding will directly benefit the MFHS Hygiene Pantry, an initiative that ensures individuals in Carbon County have access to essential items such as diapers, wipes, period products and more. These products are often overlooked yet vital to maintaining health, dignity, and quality of life, especially for families facing economic hardship.

The Hygiene Pantry is just one part of MFHS’s broader mission to meet the health and nutrition needs of women, children, and families across Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania. By providing not only medical care and nutrition services but also basic necessities such as menstrual products and diapers, MFHS aims to remove barriers to health and help families thrive.

Individuals can visit MFHS at the MFHS Carbon County Center, located at 701 Bridge Street, Suite 303, Body & Soul Complex, Lehighton, PA 18235. To schedule a reproductive healthcare or WIC Nutrition appointment or to learn more, community members can call (570) 273-1288.
