the project

This project will provide pads, tampons and underwear for women who are homeless and/or living in poverty.

www.sistersupply.org

the steps

Pads, tampons and underwear will be purchased and distributed to women's shelters and help centers. We are also seeking product donations and will use funds to cover shipping charges if necessary for donated items.

why we're doing it

Effective menstrual products are costly and are economically unavailable to a large number of women and teenage girls in Memphis. Without access to these essential items finding and maintaining employment and/or staying enrolled in school can be challenging. Imagine having to "do without."

May 28, 2016 Fundraiser

Thanks to ioby, we were able to start Sister Supply about a year ago. Since then we've raised over $12,000 and taken in countless pounds of
tampons. Wahoo!! We've been contacted by people in four other cities who are interested in starting a Sister Supply in their area. Creating a model that can be easily replicated in other cities is our next big goal as we continue to apply for grants. I really never imagined this would take of in such a lovely way and get so much support from our community.

Our biggest fundraiser of 2016 is coming up on May 28th (Menstrual Hygiene Day), The Red Panty Party. You can learn about this event on our website here: http://www.sistersupply.org/theredpantyparty/

And thank you so very much.
