Providing
anyone in need with menstrual health products
People in communities all across the United States are missing school and work because they simply can’t afford basic necessities to manage their periods. Pads, tampons, and menstrual cups are not covered by subsidy programs (like SNAP) and some families are forced to choose other critical purchases or cut back on these items that help maintain health.
At Girls Helping Girls Period.
We believe menstrual health is a matter of basic health. And human dignity. We’re dedicated to educating people on the need, and collecting/distributing products.
We give many of our clients a full year’s supply of products.
It’s so simple to help.

What “Choice” Means to Me
By Hazel, Age 30 At 29 years old I made the personal decision to have my tubes removed. I know it's an iffy subject as some women can't get pregnant or have to go through horrible treatments to get help with it. But it taught me so much about the process and myself....
p.s. Red-Washed Jeans
One day in junior year, I felt like looking nice for once. I wore white jeans because my period had ended a day ago (or at least that’s what I thought). In calc, first class of the day, I had to take a difficult test. During the test, I was already stressed because I...
Managing Periods: An Olympic-Sized Task
You may be one of the millions of mere mortals watching the Olympics from the couch, in awe of the marvels of the human body and the lengths to which the athletes can push themselves. With all due respect to the male participants, the women at the 2021 Olympics in...
p.s. Boyfriend Bail Out
When I was 16, I slept at my boyfriend’s house for the weekend. I was quite surprised to wake up Saturday morning to the realization that I had gotten my period and stained all of their good guest room sheets! I wracked my brain about how I could possibly launder them...
1,398,446 Menstrual Products Later…
In a million years, we would never have imagined that six years after our first donation of pads and tampons to a local food pantry, we would be counting the items we've donated in the millions. It is just beyond 🍌🍌🍌. I thought it would be fun to share a few fun facts...

Monica, Museums and Menstrual Cups
Most of us may know her as Monica Geller, but long before Courtney Cox became the best-known BFF on "Friends" in 1994, she had already gotten noticed for a big first. Still, it's hard to imagine she was the first person to say the word "period" on television in a 1985...
Have You Met Gina?
Most likely you don't know Gina. That's the name of the image of the girl in the Girls Helping Girls. Period. logo. She got her name on a blustery March day, in 2015, when the three co-founders of Girls Helping Girls. Period. went into New York City...
Men, Money and Menstruation
The manager of the "personal care items" section of one of the major grocery store chains we deal with is more than happy to talk about pads, tampons, liners, and all things period care. And he does it on a level most women couldn't. He has a deep understanding of the...
Men Must Be Part of the Solution
We were doing a big donation at a food pantry and stopping each and every client (regardless of age or gender) and asking, as we do, “Is there someone in your home who would benefit from a donation of period products?” The two male friends who were picking up...
