North Andover Small Biz Period Packs Earns Honor

“We are absolutely thrilled to be in the company of so many superior mom-owned businesses from around the country, but equally as proud to learn of our highly supportive demographic of clients and fans who recognize the value in what we do," said Wendy Bulawa Agudelo, founder of Period Packs, in a statement. "Our hearts are filled with appreciation—which will fuel us to further build upon what Period Packs has already accomplished to date."

Agudelo said her products "welcome young ladies to womanhood."

"When young women approach puberty, trepidation is typical and questions abound," she wrote. "Period Packs strives to alleviate the concerns, confusion and awkwardness as young women prepare for menstruation by delivering lovely gift boxes filled with needed and supportive items, as well as fun and delicious gifts and goodies too."

Agudelo is a mother to three young children and moonlights as a journalist, writing on parenting and special needs topics of interest.
