Our toolkit has everything you need to have a successful drive. Download it and get started today. The toolkit is free, we ask you to please credit our organization to help us continue to expand our reach.
Every package of period products that you collect and every dollar you raise will help individuals who struggle to get the supplies they need.

Advocate to end period poverty
The Alliance for Period Supplies provides tools for community advocacy. You can raise awareness about period poverty in your town, work to affect change on a state level, and improve conditions for many individuals who struggle to purchase period products due to lack of income.
Shop for the cause
Throughout the year, select retail partners are teaming up with U by Kotex® and the Alliance for Period Supplies to donate period products to those in need. During retail partnerships, your purchase of U by Kotex® products will generate a donation to the Alliance for Period Supplies and our Allied Programs. This means more help for more individuals struggling to meet this basic need.
Volunteer
Your local period supply programs need more than period products. They need volunteers to invest time, skills, experience, education, and people power. Contact your local program to learn how you can get involved.
Use social media to raise awareness
Help spread the word by advocating online. Post your support for the Alliance for Period Supplies on social media platforms using the hashtag #EndPeriodPoverty and #AddPads.
