Get Involved
There are a lot of ways to be part of ending period product insecurity. One of the most impactful ways is to join The Period Party, our monthly giving community. For $10 or more a month, you help cover period products for two people every cycle.
Volunteer
We pack every kit by hand at The Pad, our warehouse in Omaha's Benson neighborhood. Many of our volunteer shifts are open to the public, and you don't need any experience, just show up. Kids are welcome with an adult.
Host an Event
There's more than one way to host with us.
Packing parties: Gather your company, team, or group for an on-site event where you pack period kits from start to finish. We provide the products, training, and transportation, you provide the space and the people. Events can be sized for groups of 10 to 200 and make a great team-building or give-back activity.
Volunteer events at The Pad: Bring your group to our warehouse in Omaha's Benson neighborhood for a hands-on packing session. We'll set everything up and walk your team through it.
Host a Period Party: Turn your next get-together into something more. Gather your friends, share some snacks, and talk about period poverty in our community, then invite everyone to join The Period Party for $10 a month. We'll send a host kit with everything you need: information to share, products to pack if you want to make it hands-on, conversation starters, and sign-up materials.

Most Needed Items:
We are most in need of thin pads with wings, plastic applicator tampons, individually-wrapped liners, menstrual cups, and size medium period underwear. All products must be unscented, new, and unopened.
If you have products that are in good condition but are opened, here are some ideas so they don’t go to waste:
Package them in a waterproof bag and drop them off at a little free pantry.
Share them with a business or community organization close to your heart, and encourage them to start providing free period supplies in their restrooms. You can even give them a free Stocked Box from Access Period.
If they’re older than 5 years, toss them. As much as we hate to see good period supplies go to waste, they do expire. If you have the time, you can have fun disassembling and recycling each component part.
