Every package of period products that you collect and every dollar you raise will help individuals who struggle to get the supplies they need.

Working with Go With the Flow evokes mixed emotions for Presley. Learning about #periodpoverty focused her attention on larger issues of poverty and the struggles that so many students face. 

“It’s definitely inspirational to be part of something that when people find out about it they want to do something,” she said.

Advocate to end period poverty

The Alliance for Period Supplies provides tools for community advocacy. You can raise awareness about period poverty in your town, work to affect change on a state level, and improve conditions for many individuals who struggle to purchase period products due to lack of income.

Shop for the cause

Throughout the year, select retail partners are teaming up with U by Kotex® and the Alliance for Period Supplies to donate period products to those in need. During retail partnerships, your purchase of U by Kotex® products will generate a donation to the Alliance for Period Supplies and our Allied Programs. This means more help for more individuals struggling to meet this basic need. 

Volunteer

Your local period supply programs need more than period products. They need volunteers to invest time, skills, experience, education, and people power. Contact your local program to learn how you can get involved. 

Use social media to raise awareness

Help spread the word by advocating online. Post your support for the Alliance for Period Supplies on social media platforms using the hashtag #EndPeriodPoverty and #AddPads.
