We believe that every person deserves dignity, all month long. Even when they have their period.

PERIOD.

Project Marilyn assembles and distributes period kits.

Period supplies are among the least donated items when the community comes together to help. People donate clothes. People donate food. But rarely does anyone stop to ask: What does someone do when they are on their period and can’t afford proper supplies?

Through our various programs we are working to create a network of support for people with periods across Nevada. Period supplies are often overlooked and we are working to fill that void.

Join the Period Posse

Our Period Posse is a group of like-minded individuals who stand in solidarity in the idea that period supplies are not luxury items and should be available to all who need them.
