Find Free Period Products
Everyone deserves free access to their preferred period products. Learn how to get period products for your community organization or find where they’re located near you.
Community Partner Product Access Program
Our product-access program supplies period products to organizations that support people who may not otherwise have access to menstrual care. Eligible community organizations in Canada can request products for distribution to their clients.
Community organizations interested in receiving period products must complete our Community Partner Intake Form. While we aim to fulfill all qualifying requests, our inventory is limited. We work to ensure that distribution is prioritized for the most vulnerable communities.
Looking for Free Period Products for Yourself?
We don’t provide period products to individuals directly; instead, we work through community organizations to reach as many people as possible.
If you need period products, check your local library or community centre –– they will often provide free products. You can also use the Period Pin map to find free period supplies near you.
Community Partner Information
Community Partners at The Period Purse include shelters, food banks, healthcare centres, and other community spaces that support individuals facing inequity. To become a Community Partner, organizations must complete the Community Partner Intake Form and receive approval from TPP. Only approved partners are eligible to request free period products.
Eligible organizations must be:
- Registered charities and nonprofit groups in Canada that serve vulnerable populations
- Organizations that are committed to working with TPP to offer inclusive menstrual education
- Located within regions we currently serve, based on product availability and geography
We use an inclusive definition of vulnerable populations — recognizing the many groups that face barriers to menstrual health. This includes, but is not limited to:
- People who are unhoused or experiencing housing insecurity
- Racialized and Indigenous communities
- Low-income individuals and families
- 2SLGBTQIA+ folks, especially trans and non-binary menstruators
- Youth in underserved schools or alternative programs
- Newcomers to Canada
- People accessing food banks, shelters, or social services
- People fleeing or impacted by domestic or gender-based violence
- People with physical, developmental, or cognitive disabilities
Commitment to menstrual education:
To support menstrual equity, we pair product donations with period education. Community Partners engage with our team through ongoing conversations about the needs of their community, gain access to educational resources for their clients, and have the opportunity to participate in online learning designed for service providers. This ensures confidence in answering questions about the products you receive, promotes thoughtful distribution, and helps organizations actively reduce period stigma in their communities.
