CWS Period Packs Project

Once again, we will be participating in Church World Service's nationwide drive to collect the vital kits they use around the world to help provide relief. We are also a depot site again, which means that we will be the pick up point for the CWS semi-tractor trailer that makes the rounds picking up congregation's efforts.

This year, again, we'll be assembling period packs. Church World service says this about the project:

Across the United States, women and families facing difficult times often lack access to basic menstrual supplies. In moments of crisis—whether after an emergency or during periods of instability—something as simple as a CWS Period Pack can help make everyday life possible again.

In 2025, thanks to the compassion of donors and volunteers, Church World Service shared 6,147 Period Packs with partners across the country—from California to Texas and from Maryland to Michigan. These packs were shared through trusted partners, including Homes for Families, responding to emergencies and supporting people navigating challenging circumstances.

“Many mothers tell me they’ve had to choose between putting food on the table and buying menstrual supplies. When they receive a Period Pack, the relief is real. It’s a small gift that restores dignity in a profound way,” shared Shayne, a case manager with Homes for Families.

Each Period Pack offers more than supplies. It offers comfort, confidence and care—a reminder that someone is thinking of them.

Please take a look at our SignUpGenius page and signup to purchase and deliver to the church where the Board of Outreach will assemble the kits in time for the arrival of the CWS Semi-trailer. They would like all supplies turned in to the church by April 12. Thank you!
