Hero Story
For over 5 years, Lysne Tait has been a nationally recognized leader in the period poverty space. In early 2015, she co-founded and is currently Executive Director of Helping Women Period. Her experience helping other non-profit organizations like the Firecracker Foundation and the DeWitt District Library is a tremendous benefit to Helping Women Period. Not only is Lysne well versed in the operations of a non-profit, she knows that volunteers are the backbone of any organization like HWP and strives to ensure their experience is meaningful. Her experience with technology, social media, event planning, fund development, and goal setting are integral to the success of Helping Women Period.
The number of families in the USA needing assistance from food pantries continues to increase every year. The lack of access to menstrual health products for people who are either homeless or low-income is appalling. These necessary products are not covered by SNAP or any other welfare program. Each month, this leaves countless people without the products many of us take for granted.
