Period Project

Girls in Wyoming – including girls in Teton County – are missing school because they don’t have access to period products!

SNAP benefits do not cover period products and they’re taxable in the grocery store because they’re considered “luxury items” putting them out of reach for many families. We know that these are essential products, so a group of community organizations and volunteers (affectionately deemed the Tampon Team) launched the Period Project to make sure that girls and women have full access to period products so that they have full access to their education – and a full life.

Free period products have been placed in the following public organizations around Jackson and the surrounding areas…

• St. John’s Episcopal Church
• St. John’s Hospital and Professional Office Building public bathrooms
• Jackson Cupboard
• Colter Elementary
• JH Middle School
• JH High School
• Summit High School
• Teton County Public Health
• Teton County Jail
• CRC Teton Valley
• Arapahoe Middle School
• Laundry Love
• Habitat Restore
