Coronavirus - Period Poverty is not on lockdown

In these uncertain times, we are determined to keep helping people who rely on Every Month period packs.  Period poverty is not on lockdown. It does not discriminate. COVID-19 is pushing more people into poverty due to lack of work, lack of cheap supermarket goods, illness and business closures.

We usually make our packs at a period packing party with our amazing volunteers. However, due to the pandemic, we are no longer having these packing parties.

Every Month volunteers are safely making our period packs at home and delivering them to the foodbanks and other services that help those living in poverty. Meaning, we can still get our packs to the people that need them.

We will be getting 1,000 period packs out this month. These will be donated to foodbanks and other services across greater Manchester. We are also extending our donations to the amazing key workers working on the frontline of the pandemic. This means 1,000 people will not have to worry about their period this month on top of everything else which is going on.

As a small charity run entirely by volunteers, we rely on the generosity of our supporters and volunteers to fundraise and collect products for us – which we can no longer do due to the pandemic.

We are so thankful to those who have already donated and supported Every Month, including Lil-Lets, All Killa No Filla listeners, and everyone that got involved with our virtual pub quiz.

Period poverty does not stop in a pandemic. If you can, please donate to help us continue in our fight against period poverty. https://www.everymonthcampaign.org/donate-index-impact
