We’re looking for passionate student volunteers to:
- Donate period products (pads, tampons, liners, etc.) AND
- Help distribute them across campus in locations with existing boxes and dispensers
Once you sign up, you will receive an email within 1-3 business days that provides a list of campus locations that need supplies. All brands of period products are accepted. This is a great group service opportunity for student organizations and/or other groups.
Why volunteer?
Many students struggle to access period products when
they need them most (as much as 20% or more from some national data). Lack of access
to period products affects people’s sense of dignity, impacts their attendance
and participation in classes, and can pose serious risks to their physical and
mental health. You can help change that.
Faculty and staff members of USM’s Committee on Services and Resources for Women (CSRW) began providing free period products in some bathrooms on campus in 2021 but often fall short of being able to provide all the products that are needed.
By volunteering, you can make a direct impact on your peers' well-being and be part of a movement for health equity and inclusion.
