Free Menstrual Products in AR Schools!

Donation protected
Just like toilet paper and soap, pads and tampons are basic hygiene necessities. However, they are not provided in school bathrooms, creating educational barriers for students with periods. 1 in 5 young women in the United States miss school because they cannot afford these feminine hygiene products.

We have reached out to companies like Kotex, Always, Cora, and Lola, but they said they wouldn't be able to donate products. That is why we created this GoFundMe account. We are raising money for the thousands of school-aged menstruators in Arkansas who miss school each month because they can't afford period products and become period products are still not covered under SNAP, WIC, or Medicaid. 

Any donations would be greatly appreciated and would go towards the purchasing of period products. We then create period packs, which are packages of products that would last a menstruator one full cycle. We distribute these packs to schools across Arkansas, so that students do not have to worry about where their next product tampon, pad or liner comes from. If schools/students are in need outside of our area of distribution, we will purchase products through Amazon and mail them directly to guidance counselors/school nurses.

We have completed dozens of donation drop offs in the past to schools around Little Rock and North Little Rock, but we are starting to extend our reach to other areas and districts. This will only be possible with your help!!

Please consider donating any amount possible to support and help menstruators who face the struggle of period poverty, specifically in schools.
