Our Mission
Period Kits is dedicated to ensuring that individuals who menstruate have consistent and dependable access to essential period products whenever they are required. Through the generous contributions of donors, we create and distribute monthly Period Kits to support those in need in the Colorado.
Why do what we do?
Period poverty is the lack of accessibility or affordability of menstrual hygiene tools and educational material. This issue not only faces the homless and less fortunate population in our state but also our students. We aim to help fix this problem.
