Why We Do What We Do!!

In the beginning of 2008, we asked everyone across the US to nominate the fabulous non-profit women's groups in their area to receive a case of JUST IN CASE compacts to use to empower their clients to protect themselves... one of the clinics that we received a HUGE amount of nominations for was the Central Iowa Family Planning Center... they won a case of JUST IN CASE compacts and here is the letter we received from them... this is the reason we do what we do...

Dear Rachael,
Just a note to thank you for the beautiful condom cases. I clearly delighted a group of very at risk high school girls the other day when after a not so promising conversation about healthy decisions, I brought out a few of the cases. They thought they were beautiful and wanted to know more about condoms.....the conversation took a positive turn. Today, I took two dozen to the Mitchellville Women's Correctional Facility. About every 12 weeks I do a program about STD/HIV and birth control for inmates who are preparing for release. They will receive the cases upon release when they get a few personal items to get started along with information about every Title X funded clinic in the state. Staff members were impressed that they were so pretty and functional.

I will look forward to hearing from you, and again, thank you such a great product and for making it available to us.

Most sincerely,

Kathy Dooley
