Hugs for the Holidays 2025

The holiday season can be tough for many in the LGBTQIA+ community, with over 40% of queer youth reporting family rejection. Join ECPP in supporting Free Mom Hugs' mission to create a warm and supportive environment for those who may not have a safe place to call home during the holidays.

Let's come together to celebrate love, acceptance, and community! We'll share a meal, create lasting connections, and fill the room with the warmth of chosen family. 

This is a free event for the local queer community and allies - tickets are required for capacity purposes only.

We'll have a table set up so you can learn all about what we do and how you can support. We'll also be collecting period products to stock our pantries, so feel free to bring a package or two!

No Kings Day Pt. 2

Panhandle Women's Project x Emerald Coast Period Pantry

✨ The Emerald Coast Period Pantry and local nonprofit the Panhandle Women's Project are teaming up to tackle period poverty. Introducing -> Stock the Pantry: A Period Product Donation Drive! ✨

The goal is to collect 1,000 period products for menstruators in our community. Period poverty is an issue that impacts people who can’t afford menstrual products. Period poverty forces students to miss school, women to miss work, and too many to choose between basic needs. Period pantries help by making sure everyone has access to the products they deserve. 

🩸 We are accepting donations of:

• Pads

• Tampons

• Panty liners

• Menstrual cups/discs

• Period underwear

• Wipes

• Tide stain pens

• Hygiene products (body wash, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes, razors, lotion, etc.)

• Cleaning products (paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper, sponges, cleaning spray, etc.)

We’re so grateful for the support of Niceville High School Key Club and many other amazing student-run organizations who are helping us make this possible!

📍 Donations can be dropped off at:

Black Rifle Coffee, Niceville

510 W John Sims Pkwy #101, Niceville, FL 32578
