We’re Changing The World One Feminine Hygiene Product At A Time!

What is Project Big Dot?

PBD IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT STRIVES TO PROVIDE SUPPORT AND MENTORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES TO FEMALE STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE PARISH. WE HOPE TO SERVE AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE GAP OF TEENAGE GIRLS AND WOMEN WHO MAYBE FACING INCOME DISPARITIES OR HOMELESSNESS AND THEIR ACCESIBILTY TO ESSENTIALS SUCH AS HYGIENE PRODUCTS. THESE PRODUCTS ARE NECESSARY AND ARE NOT COVERED BY SNAP OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT PROGRAM THAT OFFERS ASSISTANCE.
