My Project

Period Poverty is a big problem for millions of people who menstruate! Clean, high quality menstrual supplies are expensive and take a big bite out of our students' family budgets. Many of our families are unhoused or barely making ends meet. Sometimes the money just doesn't stretch far enough after they pay for rent, food, utilities, transportation, etc.

Help restock our Period Supplies Shelves!

I have kids come to me throughout the day looking for supplies when they are on their periods. I get random donation via my social network but our supply is really low! The need is constant!

Please donate towards my goal of being able to purchase a good supply of a variety of products so these kids can have some dignity with this most personal hygiene need!
