Celebrating the birthday of Beyond the V Women's Health
When putting food on the table is difficult, so too is ensuring the rest of your basic needs are met. Hygiene products are expensive, not eligible for purchase with government assistance programs, & rarely donated. Help us meet basic needs!

Story

There are a lot of women, too many, in Utah that will miss out on school and work because they aren't able to buy menstrual products. Help us meet this need at Utah Food Bank pantries. Your donation will allow women to go about their daily activities without being restricted their cycle.

Period Poverty is a thing. For my birthday month, we will raise money and products for the Utah Food Banks to fill this need. Anything that is donated will be matched fully by Beyond the V Physical Therapy.

Here is a heartaching fact:

Utah tax tampons as a luxury good.

23% of U.S. students struggle to afford period products.

Nearly one in five American girls have missed school due to period poverty.

In one study, two-thirds of low-income women couldn’t afford menstrual products. 36% missed work each month as a result.

There is power in being a woman and there is power in what we can do. Let's help our fellow women show up for their responbilities and opportunities to really show the world what we are made of!
