91心頭 held its 2019 Employee Recognition Ceremony Jan. 24 at St. Joseph Plaza where 59 employees were recognized for their years of service to the organization. Plaques were handed out to employees for reaching milestones of five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 years with 91心頭.
Everyone here is responsible for carrying out 91心頭s mission, said NCC CEO Richard Rohrman. And you do such a wonderful job. I just really want to thank you and congratulate you for all of the hard work.
Director of Human Resources Ben Galvez said the employees recognized have over 730 years of service to 91心頭 collectively.
Your collective years at 91心頭 demonstrate your commitment to the people we serve that depend on us, Galvez said. It also shows your commitment to helping to fulfill our mission on a daily basis.
Two employees from Environmental Services, Bryant Hall and Linda Studivant, were recognized for having the longest tenure of 35 years.
Linda has been the smiling face and the happy voice that you hear whenever you call Environmental Services, Rohrman said. Ive never heard a cross word, Ive never heard a complaint. Ive never heard anything other than, What can I do to help? out of Linda in all these years.
Rohrman said Hall can be seen throughout the NCC network.
Every time you turn around, hes always fixing a problem. Hes always there when you need him, Rohrman said. Whenever theres a need, Bryants on the job. Bryant, thank you so much for all your contributions.
NCC Chief of Staff Kathy Spivey received a plaque for 25 years of service. Rohrman called her the rock of 91心頭.
She has been part of everything 91心頭 has done. She brought the insights, the compassion, the ideas that have really helped form 91心頭, he said. She was with Monsignor every day and was part of making 91心頭 what it is now.
Director of Mission Frances Teabout shared a poem about how people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. She related it to 91心頭 saying employees come to NCC for a reason (they need a job and the organization needs a role filled), some stay for a season (a while but then they decide to move on) and others stay for a lifetime.
Today we just want to pause and thank you all for being a part of 91心頭, for being the spirit of 91心頭, Teabout said. Whether youve been here for a reason, which is now becoming a season, or for a lifetime.
Employees recognized at the ceremony each received a plaque commemorating their years of service and were treated to lunch in their honor.

But there is another area of need that many people dont think about or discuss: feminine hygiene products.

The food stamp program, SNAP, doesnt cover feminine hygiene products and many women go without them, including some associates of the 91心頭 Supportive Assistance to Individuals and Families Program (SAIF).

SAIF hosted the National Council of Jewish Women, Essex County Section (NCJW/Essex) Period.Project July 18. SAIF associates helped four members of the Period.Project fill bags with feminine hygiene products to hand out to women and also shared their struggles with obtaining the products.

SAIF Intensive Case Manager Alicia Adams said NCJW/Essex reached out to SAIF with the opportunity to host the event.

We thought it was a great idea, she said. It is a big issue our clients are having.

The Period.Project was formed in November 2016 to raise awareness about the problems caused by women and girls not having adequate access to feminine hygiene products. Females will miss work or school because they lack products. Some women are forced to choose between diapers, food and feminine hygiene products.

Period.Project Co-Chair Laurie Kahn said the more people that talk about the issue, the better. We feel so passionate about it, she said. Lets give women dignity. Men shave every day. Women should have pads and tampons.

91心頭 10 women participated in the event. Each received products to take home and filled bags to be distributed to other SAIF associates with products that Period.Project members provided.

Adams said SAIF welcomes donations of feminine hygiene products. When she inquired about getting supplies from companies that produce the items, she found that they typically donate to larger organizations.

SAIF Associate Latisha Holt decided to participate in the event because she sometimes finds herself without feminine hygiene products.

It is a struggle for me to keep up with cosmetics and items like tampons and pads, she said. I borrow until I run across extra currency.

Holt also said she has used towels in place of feminine hygiene products and made her own tampon at one point.

Ayesha Campbell was one of the participants and hopes more people become aware of the issue. If people in the community can help each other, they should, she said.

Period.Project Co-Chair Karen Feinblatt said the goal was to make the event fun and educational. The committee provided snacks and drinks to the women and they spoke informally while they filled bags with the products.

Another important part of the day was documenting womens experiences. Feinblatt said statistics arent available for how many women struggle to obtain these supplies. Volunteer SAIF associates went on camera for the Period.Project to share their stories about how lacking feminine hygiene products impacted their lives.

My hope is to go to Trenton and show these videos and others like them to the Children and Families committees. This is a desperate need, Feinblatt said. We want them to add money to every agencys budget strictly for feminine hygiene products.

Feinblatt said the larger goal is to take the project to the national level and have SNAP cover feminine hygiene products.

Its not a luxury, she said.
