Period Product Drive- Donation Boxes and GoFundMe

Aren't you glad you have access to period products when you need them? Many people world-wide are not as fortunate. For our senior project, we are addressing the need for sanitary period products in three different ways: (i) we are creating sustainable menstrual kits for Days For Girls International, (ii) we are collecting pads, tampons and hand sanitizer for Young Women Rising's #ProjectPeriod, and (iii) we are collecting charitable donations for PERIOD. The Menstrual Movement through a GoFundMe campaign.  

 

How can you help?

1.  We have placed 6 donation boxes in the girls dorms on campus. Here we are collecting boxes of tampons and pads, as well as bottles of hand sanitizer.

2.  Visit our GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/periods 

(All donations are gratefully accepted and no amount is too small)
