'Happy Period' project provides menstrual supplies to women in need
Two students at Upstate Medical University launched "Happy Period Syracuse," part of a social movement designed to provide menstrual supplies to women and teens who are poor or homeless. Madison Searles, a first-year student in public health, and her sister, Quinn Searles, a second-year student in the physician assistant program, explain the project and its goals, how they got involved and how others can, too -- by following "We are #happyperiod syracuse" on Facebook or "@wearehappyperiod" on Instagram.
