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 (Lanier High School, Burnet Middle School) with pads and tampons so students can focus on their learning instead of their basic hygiene.
