Access Period

Working to end period poverty in Nebraska.

[Farm Credit Services of America @FCSAmerica]

Our summer interns gathered in Omaha last week and participated in a group volunteer outing with three local nonprofits – Nebraska Diaper Bank, @access_period and @WhisperingRoots.

While volunteering, they packed:
✔ 18,000 diapers
✔ 175 three-month period packs
✔ More than 1,200 containers of soup

Volunteering is one of many ways we serve the communities we and our customer-owners call home. We’re proud to include such an impactful event as part of our summer internship program.

@Je_n_Fox Anything for you, Jen (and all Nebraskans who deserve access to free period products)!

[Shematologist, MD @acweyand]

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
If you’re soaking through menstrual products in less than an hour,
A hematology consult may be right for you.

State Sen. Danielle Conrad proposes requiring Nebraska school districts to provide menstrual products in girls' bathrooms or locker rooms.

We're all about advocacy AND action! ⚡️

Today, we packed period products for @access_period and we submitted testimony in support of LB 1050 so that all students can have access to free period products in school restrooms. #NEleg
