What is a period pack?
A period pack includes tampons, pads, liners, sanitary wipes, and just one chocolate, all thoughtfully packaged for one or two cycles.
Why not distribute re-useable pads or menstrual cups?
We do not accept donations of or distribute re-usable pads or menstrual cups because the population we serve may not have access to a place where they can adequately clean these items, which could become a health risk.
Why not distribute super or super-plus size tampons?
These present more of a risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome if worn too long, so we prefer to provide regular size tampons to those in need.
What items are on your wish list?
-
Regular size tampons

-
Cosmetic bags such as Clinique, Ipsy and Estee Lauder bags.
