The Patesi Foundation invites individuals, schools, community groups, and businesses to join our mission by hosting a Period and Postpartum Essentials Collection Drive. Your team can help ensure that girls and women in need have access to period and postpartum essentials that support dignity, confidence, and opportunity.
Whether you gather supplies at your workplace, organize a neighborhood drop-off, or rally your classmates for a cause, every drive makes a difference. We’ll provide a toolkit with flyers, donation wish lists, and tips to make your drive a success.
What You’ll Do:
- Choose your collection dates and location
- Spread the word
- Collect new, unopened period and postpartum products (pads, tampons, wipes,etc.)
- Deliver or ship collected items to a designated location. Pick up by a Patesi team member is also possible in the DMV.
Who Can Participate:
- Individuals, families, schools, sororities/fraternities
- Faith-based and civic organizations
- Businesses and corporate teams
Why It Matters:
- 1 in 4 students miss class due to lack of access to period products. Your drive helps change that. Together, we can ensure that no girl is held back because of her period.
- You would be helping new mothers recover with dignity, comfort, and the essential care items they need during one of life’s most vulnerable and transformative times.
