Today is Menstrual Hygiene Awareness Day ❤️

At The Ruby Project, we believe that period care is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Every young girl, woman, and individual deserves access to basic hygiene products with dignity, compassion, and without shame.

What started as a simple idea to help others has grown into a mission of love, education, and service. Through period bags, community outreach, and acts of kindness, we are working to break the stigma surrounding menstruation while helping those who may silently struggle every single month.

No one should have to choose between food, bills, or feminine hygiene products.
No student should miss school because they don’t have access to period care.
And no one should ever feel embarrassed about a natural part of life.

Today, we encourage conversations, education, and compassion. Together, we can create communities where women and girls feel supported, empowered, and seen.

Thank you to every volunteer, donor, supporter, and advocate who helps make The Ruby Project possible. Your kindness is changing lives one bag, one conversation, and one heart at a time.

❤️ Because dignity matters.

Yes, Queen!! Thank you so much!!

To support The Ruby Project, I put together a period pack packing party for my friends and me!

On May 2nd, we
put together 200 bags that contained pads, panty liners, lotion, and sanitizing wipes. On May 14th, I donated
these bags to Food At First, a local organization that provides free meals and
groceries to those in need, in Ames, IA.

‼️ADVOCATE ‼️Let’s be a LOUD VOICE!! We are stronger together!

What is period poverty?
Half of the population menstruates. We all know plenty of people that have a period. But not everyone knows that one in four people struggle to purchase period supplies due to lack of income. This is called period poverty, and chances are we each know someone who has experienced this need, a neighbor, a co-worker, a friend.

No student should have to miss school, no adult should have to miss work, and no person should have to miss out on daily life because they are unable to afford the material basic necessities they require to thrive.

What can you do to help?

❤️Join “The Ruby Project”
❤️Give supplies to your local shelters, schools, small businesses, etc
❤️ POST on your social media accounts! Knowledge is power!!
❤️Be an advocate for change by educating others, sharing posts, being LOUD about The Ruby Project and others!
❤️Don’t be ashamed to talk about monthly cycles, period supplies, or ask women if they need help! Being silent as hurt women, we are in this fight TOGETHER!!
