Lacking the ability to purchase menstrual health products can be debilitating, as it can hinder the ability to attend work or school. For unhoused menstruators, the repercussions can go even further. Often, an unhoused individual is limited to one set of clothing. When these items become damaged or stained, it can be both embarrassing and stigmatizing. Many young menstruators face similar challenges. They may feel ashamed to ask already financially challenged family members to cover additional costs and are often surprised to learn that schools frequently charge for menstrual health products.
A period pack is a small bag containing a minimum of 15 products for an individual to use during their menstrual cycle. Our products serve menstruators who are housed, unhoused, or under-housed, as well as schools, shelters, essentials pantries, and community relief organizations on an as-needed basis.
We’ve assembled and distributed over half a million period packs since 2015.
Would you like to help us make a difference? Host a Period Party and create period packs with your friends and colleagues. It’s a great way to share an experience, have fun together, and positively impact the lives of those in need.
We proudly serve all 46 counties across South Carolina, along with several counties in North Carolina, Georgia, and two counties in Maryland.
