The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to award a $20,000 grant to launch a pilot program at San Mateo High School that aims to provide free menstrual products for low-income students.
With the funding, the Period Equity Project, an initiative launched by San Mateo teenager Amanda Safi, could begin as soon as next week at San Mateo High School. The project will provide menstrual products alongside free lunches to students who need them. The money comes from a half-cent sales tax San Mateo County voters passed in 2016 intended to help fund an array of critical services.
