Our school partnerships take up the vast majority of our time and resources. It’s hard to believe that in 2024, we still have 1 in 4 school-aged menstruators missing school due to lack of access to period supplies. Help us change that statistic and keep the schools stocked with product, so students can know they have supplies available to them for school and home.

Connecting with assistance and relief organizations in the Midlands helps us make a greater impact.
With each of these partnerships, we are able to pause and listen to the unique needs of each of our community. Thank you to our community partners for helping us get period supplies into the hands of those in need.
