Our mission is to empower individuals by ensuring access to menstrual products and education, promoting period dignity, and breaking the stigma surrounding menstruation. We aim to provide individuals with the knowledge and resources to manage their menstrual health with confidence. Accomplishments: Distribution of Hygiene Products: In the past year, Flow Freedom distributed over 37,000 feminine hygiene products, including menstrual pads and tampons, to individuals in need. This distribution helped to alleviate barriers to menstrual hygiene for those who lack access to these essential products. Educational Workshops: We hosted workshops at both an elementary and high school, reaching a diverse group of students and community members. These workshops focused on menstrual health education, hygiene practices, and the importance of using menstrual products responsibly. The workshops helped to reduce stigma and encourage open dialogue about menstrual health. Community Outreach: Flow Freedom provided menstrual products to nine schools in Philadelphia, PA, ensuring that students in these schools had access to necessary hygiene products during their menstrual cycles. This outreach has made a significant impact on the students' ability to attend school and participate in daily activities without the barrier of lacking menstrual supplies. 14500 5915 9226 Unique Ratcliff Vice President 10 500 Deneisha Cook President 40 0 X 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PA Deneisha Cook 5720 Thomas Ave Philadelphia PA 19143 2673252340 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 868 4644 17643 23155 0 0 868 4644 17643 23155 23155 23155 1 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Flow Freedom Expenses (feminine and hygiene products), Winter Wonderland (toys, winter gear, coats), Refuel for School (school supplies and backpacks) , Donation of toys to an organization, advertising expenses, website fee, bank charges, uhaul payments Form 990-EZ, Part V, Line 33 Gentle Gratitude introduced a new program Flow Freedom, which provides free feminine products to students in Philadelphia.
