HOST A PERIOD PRODUCT MINI DRIVE
Running a Mini Drive is a great way to engage your community, give back and make a difference to menstruators who may not otherwise have a healthy, dignified period that month.
The Period Purse wants your product drive to be as successful and easy as possible! We have prepared a Mini Drive handbook that includes everything you need to run a successful drive including instructions, tips, checklists and important online links.
How it Works:
Step 1 - Game Plan: Complete our Mini Drive Game Plan application form and we’ll send you the handbook so you can get started.
Step 2 - Collect: Collect period products from your community and raise funds online.
Step 3 - Deliver: Drop off period products you collected at one of our drop-off locations across Toronto.
Step 4 - Celebrate: Report your final collect numbers and celebrate your team’s success! Tag us @theperiodpurse on social media!
