below, we’re highlighting one of our most recent projects with girls inc. our team meetings are often a time for our shops to discuss bridal trends, learn about new products or styling hacks, and to bond together. during shop meetings this spring, our boise bridal team also carved out time to build period kits for their local girls inc. chapter.
when assembling these kits, a&bé boise bridal shop added period essentials and comfort items. making sure women in their community could count on menstrual necessities like tampons, pads, and flushable wet wipes.
safe menstrual products continue to be a growing need in boise, idaho 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.”
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 nationwide. if you’d like to join us in our mission of giving back, you can learn more and book a bridal appointment below!
