6th Annual Period Packing Party with Give Grace, Give Hope

Join us in the fight to end period poverty in Central Iowa!

Have you ever considered what you would do if you couldn’t afford pads and tampons? Would you skip school? Skip work? Maybe you would improvise with paper towels from a public restroom, spend the day distracted, praying they don’t get loose and fall out as you try to go about your day.

Unfortunately, this is a real struggle for women and girls right here in Iowa every month when they menstruate. If a woman cannot afford food, which was the case for far too many Iowans in 2024, they can’t afford period supplies. Want to help?

Join us in honor of International Women’s Day at The Hall where we hope to make more than 9,000 period packs! Why? Because no woman or young girl should be limited in life because of her period.

Want to know how you can help? Sign up to be a volunteer at the event (click on the Register button on this invite), provide a donation (click on the fundraising link here, or found below), and help us spread the word!

All donations received go towards buying supplies needed to make period packs for those in need.

Can’t make the event, but want to donate, please do! DONATE TODAY!

Want to volunteer, but can’t make a donation right now, sign up anyway!

Our goal is to raise over $45,000 with ALL donations going directly towards the purchase of period pack supplies, at wholesale prices!

Please share the fundraising link with your friends, family, and colleagues to help us reach our goal!

Give Grace, Give Hope is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization - Federal Tax ID #83-0808413.

We want to THANK The Hall for opening up their doors and providing the space for us to hold this event, and our other sponsors!

There will be TWO packing sessions held for the event on March 7th.

More about Give Grace, Give Hope

Give Grace, Give Hope, Inc. was established to eliminate the gap between need and access of menstrual products in Central Iowa. This is accomplished by supplying pads and tampons to schools, human service organizations, and homeless shelters that serve low income women and girls. This mission is important because if a woman doesn’t have access to menstrual products, she might improvise and take care of her period with unsanitary items that could cause infections, which could lead to medical bills. Women will also skip work, and girls will skip school when they lack access to products. Medical bills, skipping school, and missing work, all further the cycle of poverty. Pads and tampons can help lessen the burden, while providing dignity and grace! Learn more about the mission: www.givegracegivehope.org
