Our Programs
Period poverty means millions of individuals with periods are subjected to injustice and inequity due to menstruation. There is no federal program that assists with the costs of period products. EBT, WIC, SNAP do not cover menstrual products; they are considered luxury items. Consequently, 1 in 3 low-income menstruators report missing work, school, or similar events due to inadequate access to period supplies. By providing period products to low-income individuals, Free Flow NM aims to bridge this gap, enabling them to remain engaged in their careers, education, sports, and other activities.
