Improving Lives With Period Supplies
All individuals deserve to be able to fully participate in their lives, no matter what time of the month. Bright Spot program allows existing community partners to offer period products to clients who may also be receiving diapers. Through Bright Spot, we also supply AISD Schools (Navarro Early College High School, Burnet Middle School) with pads and tampons so students can focus on their learning instead of their basic hygiene.
This year, in 2021 we are excited to announce we will be launching a pilot program with the City of Austin in partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Austin to provide period supplies to at risk families in our community. If you would like to support this effort, you can make a donation below to the Bright Spot Program.
