Don't forget: Family Planning Services at MMC's Alden Street Facility offers free period products! 🩸 The only requirements are to be a resident of Pennsylvania and fill out a small amount of paperwork! Find more information at: www.mmchs.org/family-planning.

No student should have to miss class due to a lack of basic necessities. Yet, 1 in 4 students struggle to afford menstrual products (State of the Period 2023, Period. Inc.), and less than half of all U.S. states have passed legislation to fund or require free period products in bathrooms.

Every student deserves access to the basic material necessities they need to thrive.🎒🩸
