Ending Period Poverty in Harrisburg
What We're About
Period Poverty
What began as a capstone project for a nursing degree has become a call to action in Harrisburg. The term Period Poverty refers to the fact that monthly menstruation management is a financial burden for many in our community. When most of us manage this issue, we have what we need. For others, those supplies are costly and out of reach due to homelessness or cost. Currently, state and federal funds cannot be used to purchase sanitary supplies. As if that wasn't hard enough, 30 out of 50 states assess luxury tax on the purchase of sanitary supplies!!??
Our Goals
To eliminate period poverty through community engagement and direct intervention with the unsheltered and those in need.
Through our work in the community, we will bring awareness
to menstrual inequity and empowerment.
