RISE: Healthy for Life invites you to help support our neighbors--it takes a community. Help us prevent school and work absences, embarrassment, and hardship by donating to provide period products for free in our region.
RISE partners with about 15 organizations to provide period products to their clients, and we provide them at all of our programming and events as well. And people are soooooo excited to get free period products!
In the past 6 month we have given away more than 3,000 period products, and demand is still growing.
Please donate to prevent school/work absences and shame while lightening the burden for people with periods—and their families!
