Creating a Period-Poverty-Free State
What is
Period-Poverty?
Period poverty refers to the inability to afford and access menstrual products, sanitation and hygiene facilities and education and awareness to manage menstrual health.
The average period lasts 5-days and can cost upwards of $9/month.
No Federal Programs
like EBT, SNAP or WIC cover menstrual products, They are considered luxury items.

Our Mission…
Free Flow NM, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. We believe that period products should be available to all. No individual should miss work, school, or any activity because they do not have access to menstrual materials.
Since 2020, Free Flow NM has been dedicated to combating period poverty and menstruation stigma through six key programs focused on distribution and education.
We distribute to individuals, organizations, and have distribution days at different locations in northern New Mexico.
Period Products Distributed Since 2020
