At Period Kits MN we believe no one should have to choose between food and tampons. We provide kits that have at least a 30 day supply of period products to those experiencing homelessness, unstable housing and poverty.
Eliminate Period Poverty
Most people don’t want to talk about menstrual inequity and menstruation. We don’t mind starting the conversation. Here’s why:
- In Minnesota, 1 in 9 women and girls between 12 and 44 lives below the federal poverty level.
- Nearly 1 in 4 students in the U.S. struggles to afford period supplies.
- Women experiencing period poverty miss work and school.
