In the month of October, The Tulip Project held our first period product donation drive! We collected donations in the Houston area as well as online through Amazon Wishlist.

In total, we collected thousands of products, including pads, tampons, and pantiliners. Some of these donations were shipped to Kolkata, India, to another menstrual organization called Wheels of Change who distributed the products to a nearby ghetto. Others were shipped to an orphanage in China. The remaining products were used to make period care kits during our December period product packing party and donated to local Houston women’s shelters.

Thank you to the Maud Marks Library, Period at Rice, and First Christian Church for supporting us in our campaign, and Wheels of Change for distribution! Thank you to all the lovely people who donated as well!
