$1,000 goal


She Supply is 501(C)(3) non-profit, volunteer-run organization working to end period poverty in North Texas through our mission to provide a sense of decency and cleanliness to women in need. 
We are closing in on our 1 MILLIONTH free period product distribution milestone and have set a big North Texas Giving Day goal of $30K so we can reach this milestone before end of year.

My dear friend Kathy co-founded this organization and I am so proud to work alongside her and my other Board members friends on this mission that is personally meaningful to me.

Please help us reach this goal by matching my $500 donation to add a minimum of $1,000 to our total dollars raised. My $500 is in memory of my Father who passed last spring, and who always made sure my Mother, my 3 Sisters and I all had the period products we needed to maintain our best hygiene and health. I love and miss you, Dad!


Thank you!

Testimonials:

“She Supply has had a huge impact on my life. Because of their generous donations, I am able to take care if my feminine needs without having to worry about the cost of those supplies. I am not the only female in my household which means that my family has to buy feminine products for multiple people. But thanks to She Supply, it’s been easier for my parents, financially”
- Student Athlete, RL Turner High School


"Often when teens and single parents come to live with us, they arrive with nothing more than the clothes on their backs and a garbage bag of personal items. Our partnership with SheSupply offers our residents dignity and hope in the form of new undergarments and feminine products. Thanks to SheSupply we can shift the resources we allocate for these essentials to other critical program needs."
- Courtney Banatoski, President & CEO, Cumberland Presbyterian Children's Home
