You head to the restroom to get cleaned up, only to open up your cabinet and find that you\u2019re out of tampons and toilet paper. So, you head to the store. But when you arrive, the shelves that are usually stocked with all of your monthly favorites are completely barren. You travel to store after store, only to find the same thing: there are absolutely no tampons, pads, or panty liners available anywhere. You realize, with confusion, fear, and concern, that you\u2019re about to have to endure your period without any supplies \u2013 you won\u2019t even have access to toilet paper. Does this sound extreme? If you\u2019re lucky, then yes.

Many homeless shelters list feminine hygiene products as some of their most critically needed items. In fact, women and young girls in your area are struggling monthly to handle their periods safely and hygienically without the products they need. And the ramifications of this need go much further than what you would immediately think of: lack of access can lead to girls missing school, work, and falling behind their peers.
