...and having to deal with a monthly period makes it even tougher. Imagine if you weren't told what to expect or what to do when it comes. Who would you go to? For many, they turn to the school nurse or counselor for guidance and supplies.
For decades, many girls did not have access to feminine supplies like tampons, napkins, etc. during menstruation. When we learned about this, we thought it was a newer problem. Shockingly, it's not.
So we decided to do something about it. We formed the Red Petals Program to ask for donations from you, our clients, and everyone interested so that we, and other businesses willing to do the same, can get them to middle and junior high school nurses and counselors for distribution.
To provide young girls with hygienic products for menstrual cycles and support programs that help educate proper feminine hygiene.
