This post is sponsored by U by Kotex but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.
I have always given back to my community. Ever since I can remember, my parents encouraged us…sometimes forced us (lol) to volunteer and engage in our community. The Nueva Latina has been given an amazing opportunity to join the movement to help end period poverty!
1 in 4 women have struggled to purchase period supplies products in the past year due to lack of income. U by Kotex® is proud to be the founding sponsor of The Alliance for Period Supplies. This new national organization (founded in May 2018) helps ensure that individuals in need have access to essential period products required to participate fully in daily life.
The Nueva Latina held a donation drive to support The Alliance for Period Supplies!! Thanks to all my family and friends who supported me in this effort.
All products collected were donated to Flo Code in Austin, TX. The heart of their vision is focused on providing access to menstrual products to those in need, bringing people together to end the stigma of menstruation through service and encouraging women to reclaim their power. PERIOD.
During the entire month of October, for every purchase of U by Kotex – U by Kotex will donate 2 products, plus Walmart will be donating $25,000 to the Alliance for Period Supplies. The objective of this campaign to build awareness of the period supply issue, highlight the buy to give donation program happening at Walmart, and provide a strong call to action to purchase U by Kotex® at Walmart.
