About this program

A 2021 study conducted by the U by Kotex® brand revealed that two in five people have struggled to purchase period products, a 35% increase from the brand’s initial research in 2018.

When young women and girls don’t have access to period products, not only do they not feel protected, but it also puts their confidence, dignity and education at risk.

Nevertheless, Atlanta GLOW is committed to keeping girls in school and women in the workforce. To combat period poverty, we partner with schools, colleges, communities and other nonprofits to distribute menstrual hygiene kits and get them in the hands of the women and girls who need them most.

Our hygiene care packages are available at no charge to individual menstruators as well as at various community-based distribution sites (e.g., public schools, college pantries, churches, shelters, local places of business).

Eligible individuals may Request a Period+ Kit to help offset their ongoing costs of purchasing period and hygiene products. Our period kits contain an assorted selection of pads, tampons and /or liners and our hygiene kits contain an assorted selection of items needed to manage menstrual cycles and overall body hygiene with dignity and care (e.g., soap, shampoo, deodorant, wipes, toothpaste, etc.). Reusable menstrual cups are also available upon request, while supplies last.

Working in partnership with local schools, colleges, churches, shelters, pantries and community organizations, we are able to distribute thousands of period supplies to low-income women and girls in Georgia. If you are interested in becoming a distribution partner, you may complete our Period+ Program Partner Application. Our Distribution Partnership Agreement must be completed, signed and submitted with the request.
