In this episode of Nonprofit Spotlight, we sit down with Holly Seibold, the Founder and Mission Ambassador of BRAWS (Bringing Resources to Aid Women’s Shelters).
Imagine a young girl missing a week of school every month or sitting out on the sidelines during sports tryouts—not because of a lack of talent or interest, but because she lacks access to basic menstrual supplies. This is the reality of period poverty, and BRAWS is on a mission to end it.
Holly joins us to discuss how BRAWS provides new undergarments and menstrual products to thousands of women and children in shelters and underserved communities. We dive into the profound impact that these "basic necessities" have on a student’s confidence, education, and health. From their grassroots beginnings to their large-scale distribution efforts and the annual "Mardi Bras" event, learn how this organization is ensuring that no person is held back by a lack of access to essential hygiene products.
