In the United States, 1 in 4 teens have struggled to afford period products (State of the Period 2025). Period poverty refers to the lack of access to menstrual products and education. Because period care is needed every month and is not covered by WIC or SNAP, many people go without the products they need. At Aunt Flow, we partner with hundreds of nonprofits working to end period poverty—and we need your help to make it happen! How? By hosting your very own Period Party®!
What’s a Period Party?
A Period Party® is a fun, hands-on volunteer event where teams gather to pack menstrual kits that are donated directly to local communities in need. It’s part service project, part team-building event—and 100% impactful.
Why People Love Period Parties
- Easy flow: Organize your volunteer event in minutes, not hours. Our streamlined process makes this a truly “plug and play” opportunity that adapts to your team’s size and budget.
- Low cost: With an average cost per head of approximately $100/person (that includes your product donation!), you can drive meaningful impact while staying on budget.
- High impact: 100% of your funds go directly to supporting a local nonprofit, and your event can be tax-deductible.

Loved seeing some of my male colleagues encounter a tampon for the first time. Huge steps in combating menstrual taboo in the workplace. If you’re looking for an impactful in-person activity – 10/10 recommend.
