Launched in the fall of 2016, The Period Pals Project is dedicated to addressing menstrual insecurity. We want to ensure that everyone in our community has access to menstrual hygiene products. Missing work and/or school due to lack of supplies is not uncommon. Menstrual supplies are expensive, taxed as a luxury and are not covered under Colorado's food assistance program.
Getting supplies
|
We provide supplies in two ways:
1) We are currently supplying individual products as well as one-year supply packages in the following BVSD schools; New Vista High School, Boulder High School, Casey Middle School, Platt Middle School and Manhattan Middle School (and we hope to expand to others!). 2) You can request a one year supply of menstrual products directly through our email, periodpalsproject@gmail.com |
To date, we have given away over 5,000 individual products in BVSD schools. Additionally, we have given over 35 years of supplies to individuals.

Our Bags |
We provide a one year supply of menstrual products in donated paper bags from Target. Included in this package are approximately 300 tampons or pads, liners and a supportive, handmade note.
