Your overwhelming support for the Period Packs Service Project at General Synod 34 helped us to exceed our goal. Because of you, we were able to deliver 4,257 period packs to Church World Service (CWS) warehouses for distribution to menstruating people with limited funds and/or access to menstrual hygiene products.

Period Packs (Menstrual Hygiene Kits) Service Project at General Synod
In the United States, some people cannot afford menstrual hygiene products such as pads, tampons, and other items that promote healthy practices. This inability to purchase hygiene products is known as period poverty, affecting over 22 million individuals. Church World Service (CWS), a UCC global partner, introduced a Period Pack (Menstrual Hygiene Kit) to help individuals living in period poverty. The kit provides several products that promote cleanliness and health during a menstrual cycle.
Delegates and guests to General Synod are invited to participate in assembling 1,000 CWS Period Packs (Menstrual Hygiene Kits) as a service project.
If you are not attending General Synod, you may participate by assembling kits at your church using these easy instructions.
