No one should have to choose between buying food and affording period products. But with average prices for both tampons and pads rising 10% last year, nearly 1 in 4 students in the United States have struggled to afford menstrual products, leading to stress, embarrassment, and missed opportunities.

This March, we’re taking action to combat period poverty—the lack of access to menstrual products due to financial constraints or socio-cultural stigmas.

Join us in our mission to end period poverty by donating period products or making a financial contribution. Together, we can ensure that everyone has access to the dignity, comfort, and hygiene they deserve—because periods are a necessity, not a luxury.

WAYS TO GET INVOLVED

📦 Donate Products – Drop off unopened pads, tampons, menstrual cups, or period underwear at our Government building: 5255 Lincoln Avenue, Skokie.

💵 Give Money – Every $20 provides a month's worth of period products for someone in need. Donate here!

📢 Spread the Word – Share this campaign on social media using #EndPeriodPoverty.

👯 Host a Drive – Organize a collection at your workplace, school, or place of worship.
