International Menstrual Hygiene Day is May 28.
CWS Period Packs bring care and comfort every day.

Why Menstrual Care Matters

Access to basic menstrual supplies isn’t guaranteed. For many people facing difficult times, items like pads and hygiene products can be hard to afford or unavailable—creating stress, discomfort and barriers to everyday life.

  • Menstrual supplies support health, comfort, and confidence
  • During difficult times, access isn’t always guaranteed
  • Period Packs offer care and reassurance when it’s needed most

“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.”
Shayne, Case Manager, Homes for Families
What is a Period Pack?
