Support Period Products for Women and Girls
Help provide period care products, hygiene kits, and support for underserved women in shelters, single mothers, children, and refugee families.
Understanding the Reality
Period Poverty Exists Here, Too
Many women and girls in the United States continue to face barriers to accessing menstrual products.
For women in shelters, refugee families, and low-income households, menstrual care can become an added financial burden during already difficult times. Lack of access to menstrual products can affect confidence, daily routines, school attendance, work, and overall well-being.
At GFoundation, we continue working with community partners to help provide menstrual care support for women and families in need.
