We are a menstrual product donation collective committed to disrupting period poverty throughout Seattle and beyond. T2P2 stands for "Towers of Tampons & Pyramids of Pads."
We launched Seattle T2P2 on International Women's Day 2017. In our first year, we raised over 5,000 pads and tampons for Seattle's homeless and low-income people. These were distributed to shelters and used to create Period Packs: compact, waterproof packs of 10 tampons and 5 pads.
We host events and donation drives to raise tampons and pads. Most events are free and sponsored by the community. Attendees bring a box of pads or tampons to help build T2P2.
We are a local grassroots nonprofit. We recieve donated funds through individuals and small grants.
Product we raise at events and drives get repacked into Period Packs that are easy to distribute, waterproof and compact.
If you want to support our organization with your time and talent, we always need good people to host donation drives, host packing parties, build Period Packs, make deliveries, design marketing materials and more!
We partner with local organizations and businesses to host donation drives year-round! Our events range in size and location, from a Stuff the Trunk event at Green Lake Park to a Drop & Drink at the Stepping Stone. Other folx add a donation drive box to local businesses or ask friends to bring a box of tampons or pads to their private get togethers. If you are interested in hosting a drive, check out our Period Product Drive Toolkit. It has everything you need to get started!
After a successful drive, we need folx to help create our Period Packs! Packing Parties usually take place at someone's house, local coffee shop, or restaurant. We’d love for you to join us or host a party! Here’s our calendar of events and contact info.
We do a few fundraisers throughout the year and are looking for hands to help with creating marketing visuals, contacting local businesses, and researching additional funding avenues. We use the funds to raise awareness, buy and package supplies, host and advertise events, and pay for operating expenses (like this website).
We’re proud to partner with and provide supplies to over 30 local organizations. We are looking for volunteers to help us expand the number of organizations we partner with and to nuture existing partnerships.
