Services that provide free access to menstrual products to those in need.
Programs that empower and educate adolescents about reproductive health.
Advocating to waive the sales taxes on menstrual products.
We serve humans with vaginas who are unable to afford medical necessities such as sanitary napkins. Our work involves directly supporting women, girls, and trans men. The driving force behind Flo Code’s programs has been to serve the Texas community and address the issue of period poverty in our state.
Last year, Flo Code served over 10,000 people in Texas through our community-based services. Our community’s support has allowed our organization to work towards our mission of ending period poverty. Because period poverty is a nationwide issue, not just third world countries.

Volunteers are the most important part of our organization. Every two months we host community service events also known as Flo Parties. These service events allow volunteers to package together menstrual hygiene kits to be redistributed to local shelters, organizations, schools, and the homeless. Flo Parties are also used as an opportunity to educate our volunteers on different reproductive issues and products to improve their overall well-being. It’s a safe space to have an open conversation on topics society is afraid of openly discussing due to stigmas.
We love Flo Parties so much that we allow our volunteers to host private events on behalf of our organization. Private Flo Parties are the perfect opportunity to gather a group of colleagues or friends together to create Flo Packs. There are no limitations on who can help! You simply must believe that every menstruating person deserves access to menstrual products to restore dignity.
For public Flo Parties, having the proper budget allows us to be creative in what we’re offering and increase the number of menstrual products we distribute. Our goal for 2022 is to distribute 1 million menstrual products in Texas and serve 10,000 humans.
