Thank you Nicole, @selenaluvsya , and a mystery person for your tampon donations! Only 1100 more tampons to go!

Did you know we're going to start hosting packing parties every other month? We'll make 500 packs at the parties, which means we can distribute 250 period packs a month throughout the Boise area! We've got all our materials + products for the next packing party ready to go- but we just need 1500 more tampons! We're almost there! We think in the next 3 weeks we can totally meet this goal. -
If you'd like to donate, you can buy tampons online + ship them to 1815 S Shoshone St, Boise, ID 83705 or you can drop off tampons at any of our "Donation Drop Off" locations listed on the tab on our website! -
*Tampons must be unscented + individually wrapped.

There’s a lot of stigma that surrounds menstruation and period products. Periods are considered a taboo subject in the workplace and within schools but one group, Period., is trying to change that. Period. is a national, grassroots group that works to eradicate period poverty, educate communities about the realities of menstruating, and repeal additional taxes on period products. Periods have a substantial financial impact on those who have them and for those without an expendable income, they can quickly become a financial burden.
We are lucky to have a chapter of this important nonprofit in Idaho. Period @ Boise, formally the Boise Period Project, was originally started to address period poverty among the Boise homeless community. But over the last year they have expanded to help a wider demographic and are looking to stretch all across Idaho. Period @ Boise is working to eradicate period poverty in Idaho by creating period packs containing pads, tampons, and sanitary items. These packs alleviate the financial burden for individuals who are unable to afford the products themselves. Period @ Boise has made these period packs readily available in Boise, Garden City, and Twin Falls for anyone who needs them-- no questions asked.

Period @ Boise builds their packs from resources donated by the community. You can donate money on their website or unopened period products at their drop off locations (swipe right for location details). They will be holding a packing party on April 27th from 2pm-3:30pm at Trailhead Boise. They will be assembling 500 period packs to distribute to the community and talking about all things period. Period products should be readily available to everyone. No one should have to miss school or reuse period products because of a lack of resources. Thank you Period. Boise for doing this important work! #periods #troutmouth #idahome

Our next packing party is Saturday, April 27 from 2:00-3:30 pm at @trailheadboise ! We'll hang out, talk all things period, and assemble 500 period packs to go out into the community. Can't wait to see you there! Comment below if you'll be able to make it out! ♥️
