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.
It’s About Health & Dignity. Period.
OUR VISION
We envision a world where anyone who has a period has dependable and consistent access to the products they need when they need them. We are working to achieve this by providing kits to community partners who serve those struggling to meet basic needs.
