Help Us Promote Cervical Health!


January is Cervical Health Awareness Month. Every year, more than 11,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with cervical cancer. With regular screenings and follow-up care though, the disease can often be prevented.

However, while such a health measure is a priority for some, the same cannot always be said for women who are unstably housed or experiencing homelessness. When an individual is experiencing food and housing insecurity, those elements take precedence.

So, as a thank you for participating in this essential preventative health exam, patients receiving pap smears can choose either a pocketbook or jewelry from the donations we collect.

Care For the Homeless is currently accepting gently used to new pocketbooks and jewelry. Donations can be brought to our 33rd Street offices or to Susan’s Place in the Bronx.

January 23rd is the final day to make your donation, so don’t wait! Join us in the support and promotion of cervical health!

Please contact Ilkia Solano (isolano@cfhnyc.org) or Michael Falcon (mfalcon@cfhnyc.org) with any questions.
