Period Poverty Awareness Week

2 in 5 women reported not being able to afford period products in the last year. 1 in 5 low-income women have missed school, work, or similar activities due to lack of access to period products.

Helping Mamas Atlanta is a proud member of the Alliance for Period Supplies, a national network of community-based nonprofits that distribute millions of period products annually and advocate for legislation that will address period poverty. In 2024, Helping Mamas distributed over 1 million period products through school districts, shelters, health departments, and other organizations throughout Georgia and Tennessee.
