PERIOD. is a nonprofit that works to increase access to period products for women. They found a little loophole when it comes to getting assistance –– Loopholes cereal. It’s a food item to qualify for food assistance but has tampon and pad prizes inside, since those items aren’t covered.
They are sure to include this disclaimer on loopholescereal.com:
Loopholes Cereal is a FAKE brand meant to raise awareness of the very real problem of Period Poverty.
The use of SNAP is meant to call out a lack of federal support, not that SNAP should be the program responsible for coverage of menstrual products.
