James Van Der Beek working to end ‘period poverty’ for US girls

January 13, 2020


James Van Der Beek is padding his résumé.

He’s partnered with Always and Walmart for the #EndPeriodPoverty campaign to donate up to 1 million pads to girls in need.

“I was really impressed that they asked a man to step up to this campaign . . . I am a typical dumb guy, I did not know one in five girls deal with ‘period poverty’ in the US,” the recent “Dancing With the Stars” contestant told us.

Van Der Beek, who rose to fame on teen drama “Dawson’s Creek,” is a father of five — including four daughters.

He added, “This is prepping me for my daughters 1,000 percent . . . to put myself in the scenario where I would have to miss practice or school because of something that happens naturally is insane.”
