Service
The Service Team works with shelters, food banks, community co-ops, and other organizations to provide them with period products. They also deliver period product "packs" to individuals across Ontario who are in need and experience period poverty.

Are you in need of menstrual products?
Work
The Service Team is constantly reaching out to new shelters and organizations to end period poverty. These Product Distribution partners, alongside the Volunteer Drivers, help deliver packs to those in need.
Impact
Since our inception in March of 2020, the Service Team has worked hard to collect products and host drives. As of July 2021, we've donated 49 menstrual cups, 20,695 tampons, 25,693 pads, totaling to 46,437 products and 2730 packs!
Goals
2020 was a successful year for the Service Team, but we continue to work hard to help menstruators in need. For 2021, the Service Team aims to collect 40,000 products and run at least 15 product drives!
Each pack has 7 tampons and 11 pads.
Period Packs
