Donations
In 2019, our work began with organizing donation drives to provide period products to those most in need of them. This ethos still continues today by using our available profits to purchase and donate period products to homeless shelters and direct provision centers in Limerick.
Where does Anytime of the Month donate products?
We currently donate to:
- Thomond House Homeless Shelter
- A homeless shelter for women
- Doras Luimni
- An NPO protecting the rights of migrants. Doras distributes the products among the direct provision centers in the Limerick/ Clare area.
If you want to tell us about an organisation that needs the donation of period products please contact us info@anytimeofthemonth.com
The majority of period products we donate are single-use pads and tampons. With each donation, we also provide several reusable products. However, these reusable products are not always suitable because they require specific cleaning requirements to prevent the risk of infection.
Furthermore, at Anytime of the Month we also respect people’s choice to choose the period products they feel comfortable using and that’s why we provide a variety. Keeping in mind the environmental impact of single-use period products, we only purchase products that are more eco-friendly such as bamboo alternatives. We also purchase our products from small Irish businesses.
There are several ways you can help!
- You can purchase and donate your own period products to centers near you.
- You can make a monetary donation on our website and we will purchase the products to include in our next donation.
- If you are based in the Limerick area you can always drop using period products on the UL campus and we will include them in our next donation.
