CCHCC’s Women’s Health Task Force, along with Planned Parenthood of East Central Illinois, have held several EC Giveaways for the women of Champaign-Urbana! Planned Parenthood generously donated free Emergency Contraception and provided practitioners to dispense the medication at no charge. CCHCC volunteers helped women fill out the needed paperwork, and provided them with EC educational materials.
EC Giveaway events were held on:
5/11/2005
11/5/2005
3/1/2006
8/22/2006
12/6/2006
2/12/2007
10/24/2007
Hundreds of women in central Illinois have backed-up their birth control with free EC from these events. The Women’s Health Task Force will continue our work for greater access to and awareness of EC!
