Service

We supply donated product for free always!

We try to fill as many orders as we can, but unfortunately our inventory gets quickly exhausted. If we're currently out of product, you'll be notified when you head over to the Product Order Form. Thank you for your patience and for all the work you do!

Anyone can receive menstrual products from PERIOD. National, whether you are a PERIOD. Chapter, 501c(3) organization / non-profit, or just an individual who would like to help their community!

Organizations, groups and individuals within the continental U.S. who serve people experiencing financial or housing instability can order products!Our Service team works hard to ship as many products as possible every day.

We try get products to you within 2-3 weeks of ordering, but when we receive a large number of orders or inventory is low, that can be delayed. We will let you know via the form or email if we are unable to fill your order within 2-3 weeks. Unfortunately, we cannot handle urgent requests.

No, we don’t ship outside the continental U.S. The cost of shipping and the carbon load makes it too prohibitive. It is more cost-effective and sustainable to buy products locally. Sometimes, we can ship our products to a staging location in the continental US for nonprofits who serve people outside the US. They will then transport those products themselves to another location, which can make sense from a sustainability standpoint when combined in a larger shipment.

Yes! PERIOD. donates menstrual products free of cost to anyone who is serving marginalized communities.

Screen a movie and have people bring products as admission!

PLAN: Find a SERVICE PARTNER to which you will distribute the raised product. Find a location (this can also be done online on platforms such as Screenr) where you can show your movie! Pick a movie to watch (Period. End of Sentence is an excellent documentary, but any movie that gets your chapter members excited and aligns with our mission is a great option). Be sure to communicate with your service partner about which products they prefer. Tell your attendees which products you will be accepting as admission.

ADVERTISE: Spread the word! Make posters for your movie drive, post on social media, etc.

EXECUTE: Have your screening and collect products as admission! Deliver the products to your service partner.

SHARE: We need to see what you’re up to, so Send photos of your event and a summary of your impact to PERIOD. National.

Write notes to your service partners and the menstruators they serve!

PLAN: Ask your SERVICE PARTNER if they would benefit from notes to menstruators. Purchase small thank you cards and envelopes. Find a communal space (this can also be done online on Zoom or Google Hangouts) to host your Thank You Note Writing Party!

ADVERTISE: Spread the word! Show chapter and community members what you’re doing and how to come help via Instagram and other social media.

EXECUTE: When everyone is there, pass around the materials and give examples of things to write. Be sure the notes follow PERIOD.’s language guidelines. Once you’ve written and decorated your notes, distribute them to the service partner along with your raised product.

SHARE: Send photos of your party to PERIOD. national! We need to see what you’re up to.

Inspire monetary and product donations with a panel of period related speakers!

PLAN: Find speakers to come and talk to your chapter! Ideally, these speakers will volunteer their time. Finding speakers from community organizations and your service partners is ideal. Some interesting panel ideas could be: menstruator and non-menstruator discussions, service partner interviews, or questioning your teachers and administrators with chapter-generated queries. Once you’ve secured a speaker, decide how you will fundraise. You could have admission cost money -- which you could then use to buy products -- or accept products as admission. If you’re planning on distribution, get in touch with a SERVICE PARTNER. Find a place for your event to be held, and schedule with your speakers.

ADVERTISE: Spread the word! Show chapter and community members what you’re doing. The great thing about speakers is that they draw many different communities to your event.

EXECUTE: Have your event! Be proud of yourself for engaging your community and successfully linking service and education.

SHARE: Send photos of your event to PERIOD. National! We love to see chapters working in their communities.

Repackage products into individual Period Packs!

PLAN: Ask your SERVICE PARTNER if they want individual PERIOD. Packs (this is crucial!). Some Partners prefer products in original packaging. If your Service Partner does want re-packaged products, ask them what make-up they would like (i.e. All tampons, all pads, a specific mix). Once you have your service partner, find a community event space and pick a date and time.

PREPARE: Gather your products: chapters can receive products via PERIOD.’s service portal, product drives, or by simply buying them with chapter funds. Brown paper bags and a PERIOD. Stamp are also recommended if you are packaging PERIOD. Packs (9 tampons, 6 pads). Staples are an excellent way to close bags.

ADVERTISE: Spread the word! Get your chapter member’s ready to volunteer. Post on social media.

EXECUTE: Have your packing party. Many chapters have success with an assembly line style. Be sure to track your PERIOD. Packs (9 tampons, 6 pads) for reporting periods served. Deliver your packs to your service partner and thank them!

** If your partner only wants pads (or tampons!), you can totally make the packs with just one kind of product (~15 pads/tampons). The above is just a standard but please make sure if you make any changes, to check with your service partner first!

SHARE: Share pictures on social media and tag @periodmovement! Send photos of your packing party to PERIOD. National! We need to see what you’re up to!

Host a concert and accept products as admission!

PLAN: Find a (or more than one) local band or musician who will donate their time to play for your chapter. Book a venue or find a space to host the concert. You may want to reach out to multiple different spaces to find the right fit. Create a fun, engaging, and informative poster! Reach out to your SERVICE PARTNER and ask what specific products they would like. Be sure to pass this information to anyone coming and include it on the poster!

ADVERTISE: Use social media to your advantage: post consistently and have your chapter members repost to their stories, etc.! Also, ask the venue and bands to advertise to their followers.

EXECUTE: In advance, decorate the venue and set up for the Benefit Concert! As people arrive, accept products as admission and give them a ticket or stamp their hand. Rock out!

SHARE: Show PERIOD. National what you’re up to! Tag us in your posts on social media and email us!
