Britepaths Featured in Patch for SNAP Gap Period Pantry Opening

Britepaths was recently featured in Patch Fairfax City, VA, for the opening of a new addition to our SNAP Gap Pantry, a Period Pantry.

The pantry, located at Britepaths’ Fairfax office, helps fill a critical gap by offering essential hygiene items that cannot be purchased through SNAP benefits. The April ribbon-cutting also celebrated a new partnership with the Junior League of Northern Virginia, which has committed to donating more than 8,000 period products annually to support Britepaths’ clients.
