The 'Period Supply Kits' made by The Menstrual Mission are unique because of our greeting cards included in each kit. The cards allow us to provide more than the period products themselves but also a sense of care and community. We hope the cards allow each person who receives a kit to feel like they are valued and in the thoughts of another human, humanizing the process and contributing to our goal of providing dignity during that time of the month.
We pride ourselves on providing only cards that demonstrate effort and care in their creation. If you wouldn't want to receive it, don't donate it. That being said, we accept handmade and store bought greeting cards and holiday cards. We donate 'Period Kits' around the holidays and through out the rest of the year, so both kinds of cards can be of use. There are images of perviously donated cards below, which you can use for inspiration, and there is a document linked below that contains guidelines and suggestions for creating cards.
Similar to donating period products or funds, you can mail donations or have your donation collected by me! If you are located in the DWV area or central New Jersey, it is likely that I can come personally collect the products from you. If you are located anywhere else in the U.S. or internationally, mailing the cards is the best option.
To donate cards, please use the 'collection form' button below. You will be directed to a form that you should fill out in its entirity. You will receive an email with details about the address to mail the cards to or where & when I can come collect the donation directly from you. You can also message our Facebook page and explain you have cards to donate and where you are located. You will receive a message with the same information.
Card making events are also a great way to donate cards. Information on public card making events can be found on the 'volunteer' page. You can also host a private card making event, which is also found on the 'volunteer' page.
