Period poverty affects many individuals across the United States, making it difficult to access necessary period products. This issue can cause missed school, work, and social activities, impacting education and economic freedom.

Educational Resources
Diaper banks play a crucial role in alleviating the financial strain on families by providing diapers to those in need. A lack of diapers can force parents to make difficult decisions, such as not attending work or school due to the inability to care for their children properly. By supporting diaper banks, we are empowering families to maintain their dignity and health.
Community-Driven Charitable Programs
We are proud to support and be part of a network of community-driven charitable programs. These initiatives ensure that families and individuals have access to necessary hygiene products without the burden of financial strain.
How You Can Get Involved:
-
Volunteer
Many organizations rely on volunteers to help with the distribution of products. Consider supporting our diaper bank or other community programs.
-
Host a Diaper Drive
Partner with the Lone Star Diaper Bank to host a diaper or period product drive in your community.
-
Advocate
Raise awareness about period poverty, diaper needs, and hygiene kit programs by sharing information on social media, participating in advocacy efforts, or supporting policy changes.
Additional Resources
Period Poverty in the U.S.
Period poverty has wide-ranging socio-economic impacts, affecting school attendance, work participation, and overall well-being for those without reliable access to menstrual products. The American College of Physicians provides an in-depth Advocacy Toolkit exploring the public health implications and need for menstrual equity.
Access the full report and toolkit through the American College of Physicians website.
The Value of Diaper Banks
Diaper banks provide critical support for low-income families by offering free access to diapers, which are often costly and not covered by government assistance programs. The National Diaper Bank Network (NDBN) highlights the essential role of diaper banks in enhancing family health and economic stability.
