Week of Action: Project Period.

UWRC’s Week of Action: Project Period. will take place June 8–12. For the third year in a row, we’re focusing on period insecurity and working together to ensure more members of our community have access to the essential menstrual products they need each month.

Volunteers will help assemble period kits filled with tampons, pads, and wipes for distribution at each participating site. There are also opportunities to add a personal touch by writing encouraging messages and decorating small canvas bags included in each kit.
