In honor of Women’s History Month, we partnered with The Period Collective to host a supply drive and packing party. Thank you to all the Belles who generously donated items off our Amazon wish list! We were able to put together 50 period kits as well as donate extra supplies in bulk. Thanks to your generosity we were able to donate:
1500+ tampons
250+ overnight pads
1100+ liners
40+ pairs of period comfort underwear
On March 7th, we had a packing party where we sorted through the donations and packed 50 kits. Each period kit is meant to provide a month’s worth of supplies and contains 25 tampons, 5 overnight pads, and 22 liners. Thank you to Geneviève (class of ‘98) for hosting us at your home!
