BOAM Spotlight: Building Period Kits for Girls Inc.
Did you know that our anna bé bridal boutiques are active members in their communities? Beyond the celebrations of dress shopping, our teams regularly participate in volunteer days and champion our mission of giving back through BOAM. We wholeheartedly believe in empowering women not only during their wedding dress shopping experience, but in every stage of life. When you purchase a wedding dress at anna bé bridal boutique, you join our mission of supporting women-focused organizations nationwide.
In May, our anna bé Colorado team carved out time to build period kits for their local Girls Inc. chapter. These kits included period essentials and comfort items like tampons, pads, and chocolate. Setting up an assembly line on their bridal salon floor, our Colorado team worked together to create period kits and package them for pick up by their Girls Inc. representative.
The growing need for safe menstrual products and menstrual equity can be seen within Denver, Colorado and nationwide. According to Girls Inc., “Globally, an estimated 500 million people lack access to menstrual products and hygiene facilities. In the United States, 1 in 5 teens have struggled to afford period products or have not been able to purchase them at all. 1 in 4 teens have missed class due to the lack of access to menstrual products.” The lack of menstrual products and proper menstrual care significantly impacts one's ability to participate in society, creating further barriers in school, work, and other critical daily activities
By supporting Girls Inc. through consistent donation over the past 7 years, we continuously hope to make a small impact on women’s health within our local community and women nationwide. If you’d like to join us in our mission of giving back, you can learn more and book a bridal appointment below.
