🩸Does your organization or school need period products?🩸

Throughout the last year, we've seen the need for period products in this area. So in addition to the pantries we have on the Emerald Coast, we want to give period products to local schools, shelters, or organizations in need.

If you're a school or organization in need in Fort Walton Beach, Navarre, Mary Esther, Niceville, Crestview, Destin, Gulf Breeze, Pensacola, Milton, or Freeport and would like to request a box of period products, feel free to fill out the form below:

https://forms.gle/vJhAXtztDo3te2Dz8

Not in the list of cities above but somewhere else nearby? Feel free to fill out the form and we'll let you know if we can make something happen.

Please note that period products are not guaranteed. Requests will be filled based on need and number of requests we receive.

*Mutual aid, not a nonprofit.*

Emerald Coast Period Pantry began in April 2025, and we've quickly expanded.

We've learned that this community deeply cares about this issue and wants to support our mission to destigmatize menstruation and tackle period poverty on the Emerald Coast of Florida.

With our widespread growth, we need your help!

We're looking for a Volunteer Admin Specialist and Social Media Specialist. Don't let the titles intimidate you. Here's what we need:

🩸Admin Specialist
This role will mainly check and answer emails and keep our website updated with current news, events, and new pantry/drop box locations.

🩸Social Media Specialist
This role will help create graphics and content for our social media accounts (Facebook and IG). Canva experience is nice, but not required.

If you're a college student looking for volunteer experience or just want to fill your extra time with something meaningful, please email Samantha at ecperiodpantry@gmail.com.

You can also help by sharing this post so it reaches more people!
