The Homeless Period Project is changing the world one community at a time by creating awareness and delivering menstrual hygiene products to those in need.

Access to menstrual hygiene for all is a vital part of healthcare. Lacking the ability to purchase menstrual hygiene products can be debilitating because it can hinder the ability to attend work or school. It can also impact a woman’s mental health and overall well-being. For homeless women, the repercussions can go even further. Often, a homeless woman is limited to one set of clothing. When these items become damaged and stained, it can be both embarrassing and stigmatizing. Many young women are in similar situations. Surprisingly some schools often charge for menstrual hygiene products.

A Period Pack is a small package that contains a supply of products for one woman including tampons, pads, and wipes. These products serve women in shelters and living on the street. They are also supplied to young women in local schools who cannot afford or access menstrual care as well as to women in need due to disasters such as hurricanes or fires.

The Homeless Period Project has delivered over 240,000-period packs since they began their mission in 2015! Heal ATL is excited to support @thehomelessperiodproject 〰️ Join us on Thursday May 30th, 2019 from 7-9pm as we gather in the spirit of service to help put together period packs to help support women in ATLANTA!
