Too many Utah women miss school and work because they are unable to afford menstrual products. Help us meet this basic need at Utah Food Bank pantries. Your donation will empower women to learn, work, and thrive.
Millions of women in the U.S suffer isolation, infection, and missed opportunities because they are unable to afford tampons and pads. Yet these women cannot use SNAP (food stamps) and Medicaid benefits to purchase menstrual products. Moreover, 30 states including Utah tax tampons as a luxury good. The consequences are heartbreaking:
23% of U.S. students struggle to afford period products.
Nearly one in five American girls have missed school due to period poverty.
In one study, two-thirds of low-income women couldn’t afford menstrual products. 36% missed work each month as a result.
At SisterGoods, we believe menstrual products are a necessity, not a luxury. We are partnering with the Utah Food Bank to offer menstrual products at their pantries.
Your donation will help us fight period poverty – and give Utah women more opportunities to learn, work, and thrive.
