What is Period Poverty?
Period poverty is when people can't afford or access the products they need for their periods. This can cause health problems and make it hard for them to go to school or work.
How You Can Help:
Donate Products: Give pads, tampons, or menstrual cups
Spread the Word: Talk about period poverty and encourage others to help.
Support Policies: Back efforts to provide free period products in schools and public places.
Helping out can make a big difference for those in need.
Our shelf for period products, is quite empty. This is due to the high demand for these crucial yet often overlooked donation items. Period products are not cost-effective, but they are essential.
