Why This Matters
Need
According to statistics from the Alliance for Period Supplies, 1 in 4 women have struggled to purchase period supplies in the last year due to lack of income. During the pandemic, the economic need has increased. No welfare program in this area covers period products, a basic need.
Dignity
The average pad or tampon is changed every 4 hours. Every pad or tampon donated is 4 hours of independence so a menstruating person can go to school or go to work - participate in their life - with dignity.
Freedom
On average, a period lasts 5 days each month. 30 period products can support one person a month, on average. That support represents freedom, independence, power, and hope.
