Helping Women Period

Helping Women Period is a non-profit organization that partners with various charities around Lansing to provide pads and tampons for low income and homeless women. The founders started Helping Women Period after reading an article about the lack of access to pads and tampons for homeless women and the realization that this basic need was not provided for by governmental assistance programs. They strongly believe that every woman deserves to not worry about her period and how it will affect her daily life. If Helping Women Period won the October SoupGrant, they would use the money to further boost their distribution of pads and tampons to those in need in the Greater Lansing Area.
