How we support women in Harford County
The Menstrual Access Initiative is dedicated to breaking the cycle of period poverty. Discover how we provide vital menstrual products to women facing financial, social, or emotional hardships throughout our community.
Period pantries: Our core service
Our primary method of support is through strategically located period pantries across Harford County. These pantries ensure that women have consistent, reliable access to the menstrual products they need to manage their periods with dignity, helping them recover from financial, social, or emotional hardships.
Supporting women in shelters and schools
We focus on reaching those most in need. Women in homeless shelters and domestic violence shelters benefit significantly from our period pantries. Additionally, we extend our reach to girls in schools, ensuring that those who cannot afford menstrual products have access to them in nurses' offices and restrooms, preventing missed school days and promoting their well-being.
Efficient product distribution
Our dedicated team manages the entire process from donation to distribution. We store all donated menstrual products in a secure location. Whenever a period pantry needs restocking, our team is readily available to ensure products are delivered promptly and efficiently across the county, maintaining a continuous supply for those who rely on us.
