Support the Dignity and Health of Women in Crisis
Did you know 2 out of 5 women in the United States struggle to afford period supplies?
And 1 in 3 women have been unable to work, attend school, or fulfill their commitments because they couldn’t buy these essentials?
Period products and undergarments are not luxury items – they are essential basic needs.
Lack of access to these necessary products has serious consequences for women’s health, community connections, educational achievement, and economic stability.
Thanks to generous supporters like you, BRAWS provides monthly deliveries of pads, tampons, bras, and underwear to local shelters, schools, food pantries, and other community organizations in the DC metro area.
Since 2015, BRAWS has distributed more than 6 million products to women and girls experiencing homelessness, poverty, domestic violence, unemployment, and other crisis situations.
With your help, BRAWS can continue meeting the needs of thousands of women each month.
THANK YOU for giving generously today to support the dignity and health of women in our community.

"Being homeless, I could never afford what I wanted in hygiene supplies. I would use whatever I could get. Getting donations from this program, puts my mind at ease every month and eliminates one of my stressors."
“BRAWS supports student success at our school by ensuring that students, regardless of their economic background, are able to access menstrual supplies when needed. With pads being available and accessible to all students, it is no longer something they have to worry about in an academic setting.”
"The ladies from BRAWS...God bless them! I was in serious need of a new bra! The one bra I owned was old, stained, and stretched out. I can't wait for them to come back!"
“BRAWS is one of the most accessible and immediate resources to meet this essential need for our clients. Working every day in this field is overwhelming, but I know that when I come to BRAWS it will be a simple process to get these basic needs to our survivors in shelter.”
"Being able to save the money that I would normally spending on tampons, allows me to put it towards paying my bills every month. Tampons are expensive!"
