For many, this time of year can bring added stress as they work to meet everyday needs. Limited access to feminine hygiene care can exacerbate these challenges – affecting health, wellbeing, and confidence. By providing these products, Always empowers women and girls to navigate life’s demands without worrying about scarcity, allowing them to focus on celebrating the season with family and friends.

“For more than 40 years, Always has stood beside generations of girls and women, championing their confidence and well-being,” said Balaka Niyazee, senior vice president of North America feminine care at Procter & Gamble.

“Yet too many still face barriers — including the one in five girls in the U.S. who have missed school or left early because they didn’t have access to period products, which remain among the most requested non-food items at food banks. Building on our long-standing commitment to support our communities, Always has delivered tens of millions of period products across the U.S. to help remove this barrier to education and confidence. This holiday donation through the Feeding America network will reach households across the country, including communities where access to these essentials is most limited, underscoring our continued dedication to supporting girls and women nationwide.”

Through its partnership with Feeding America, Always helps deliver feminine hygiene items to food banks and pantries nationwide — a critical network that supports everyone facing difficult trade-offs between food, hygiene and other necessities. This year’s donation supports the communities by expanding access to the menstrual care goods that people rely on year-round.

“At a time when many families are facing uncertainty and managing tough choices such as balancing food with other essentials, we are grateful for long-standing partners like Always who understand that prioritizing dignity and increasing access to resources is critical to supporting overall health and wellbeing,” said Lauren Biedron, Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships at Feeding America. “Through their generosity, we can help ensure neighbors in communities across the country have the resources they need to thrive this holiday season and beyond.”

HANGZHOU, China, Nov. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The BMW Group has officially granted licenses for two of its micromobility concepts to its partner, the LUYUAN Group, during a signing ceremony today. The licensed concepts, “Dynamic Cargo” and “Clever Commute,” were developed by the BMW Group to address challenges in urban mobility.

The “Dynamic Cargo” is a “pick-up” style electric three-wheeled cargo bike that retains the agility of a conventional bicycle while offering innovative, safe transport options, enhanced by an optional modular weather protection system. The “Clever Commute” is the perfect “last mile” e-kickscooter, designed to fold easily for carrying on public transport or in a car without compromising riding stability.

LUYUAN intends to use the licensed technology to develop light mobility vehicles for diverse urban mobility scenarios and enter the global market under its own brands.

As a pioneer in China’s electric two-wheeler industry, LUYUAN has been committed to its concept of “creating better light mobility through technology”. To date LUYUAN has provided light mobility solutions to over 30 million users in more than 80 countries and regions.

Dr. Jochen Karg, Head of Vehicle Concepts in the BMW Group, stated: “We are pleased to grant Luyuan the rights to the Dynamic Cargo and Clever Commute concepts, which is part of our initiatives focused on the future of urban mobility. The BMW Group has collaborated with cities for many years and understands the diverse challenges urban areas face, including CO2 emissions, traffic congestion, and limited public space. Through our collaborative approach, we aim to contribute to city-friendly transport systems by enhancing the interconnectedness of urban mobility, promoting micromobility solutions for the last mile, and encouraging shifts in mobility behavior.”

Ms. Hu Jihong, CEO of LUYUAN Group, stated: “This partnership with the BMW Group marks a key step in our global strategy. We are building a technology ecosystem by combining our in-house capabilities with world-class partners. To ensure our products meet stringent European standards, we have engaged the BMW Group’s innovation studio, Designworks, and German engineering firm within the BMW supplier system—— Faissner Petermeier Fahrzeugtechnik AG for product development in Munich. This approach combines China’s ‘Intelligent Manufacturing’ with partner technologies to deliver outstanding, locally-adapted products to customers worldwide.”
