Plan A Health
Plan A Health’s mobile clinics allow local providers to provide free healthcare services directly to the Mississippi Delta region, no insurance required. With two OB-GYN rooms, an intake area, lab space, and a bathroom, all ADA accessible, the mobile clinic is a proven, cost-effective means of improving access to care for women in underserved communities, removing two major barriers: distance and cost.
Helping Women Period
Helping Women Period is dedicated to providing menstrual products to homeless and low-income people in the mid-Michigan area. Menstrual products are not covered by SNAP or any other federal program. For many people who menstruate, this lack of access prevents them from going to school or work. Coordinating with volunteers and community partners, HWP distributes over 500,000 products annually, increasing access and improving menstrual equity.
The IF Project
Detective Kim Bogucki co-founded The IF Project to create a national model of collaboration between law enforcement and incarcerated women to address the root causes of their involvement in the criminal justice system. The IF Project offers mentorship, education, job training, and counseling to develop the skills and resources necessary for a successful re-entry. Using the power of dialogue, the IF Project also helps to break down barriers and promote empathy and understanding between people inside and outside of the criminal justice system.
