Free Flow Nm Inc

Since 2020, Free Flow NM has been dedicated to combating period poverty and menstruation stigma through six key programs focused on distribution and education. Period poverty means that millions of individuals with periods are subjected to injustice and inequity due to menstruation. There is no federal program that assists with the costs of period products. EBT, WIC, and SNAP do not cover menstrual products; they are considered luxury items. Consequently, 1 in 3 low-income menstruators report missing work, school, or similar events due to inadequate access to period supplies. We aim to bridge this gap, enabling individuals to remain engaged in their lives. Where We Serve: Free Flow NM provides our services across Northern New Mexico, ensuring individuals in both urban and rural communities have access to essential supplies. Our distribution efforts span Santa Fe, Rio Arriba, Los Alamos, Taos, Colfax, and San Miguel counties, including the Eight Northern Pueblos.
