Donate Period Products

One box of pads can change someone's week. Your donation helps a neighbor get through school, work, a shelter stay, or a hard day with comfort and dignity.

Every sealed item becomes direct care.

Give what you can, where you can. We will make sure it reaches someone who needs it.

The why behind the box

Where your donation goes

Your products go to domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters, recovery centers, and students who need reliable period care. We also pack nationwide H.O.P.E. kits for women in crisis.

The Period Pantry is Maryland-based, grassroots, and nationally expanding. We started with a girl in Baltimore who saw an injustice and decided her community deserved better. Your donation keeps that care moving outward.
