Article: Period Poverty Awareness (Westchester County Mom)

What if you or your daughter couldn’t afford period products?

In Westchester County, that is a concern for far too many women and girls. One of our favorite local nonprofits, 914Cares, distributes items like tampons, liners, and overnight pads to an average of 2,300 menstruators per month. Last year, the organization distributed nearly half a million period products to females in need, who may otherwise miss school or work. One in three menstruators in the U.S. regularly struggle with not having access to such essentials.
