This workshop is intended to inform and educate our community about period poverty. Join us to learn more. Help us keep our girls in school.

Do you know a young lady who is struggle to obtain the monthly period supplies she needs?

Period Poverty is an epidemic that impacts millions of women and girls worldwide. Did you know that 1 in 5 girls in the U.S. struggles to pay for period products and 18% of women have missed school, work or an event because she didn’t have the products she needed?

Our target audience is young ladies 11-18, but all are welcome to attend. We will have trained medical professionals in attendance to answer any health & hygiene questions participants may have.

Seats are limited, so please register as early as possible.

We are still collecting supplies for those interested in donating. Information is available in the flyer below.
