Grassroots To Nonprofit

The Tulsa Period Pantry started with a simple call for help. Our founder, Cassie, saw a local teachers urgent request for the need of period supplies for her students. After research, however, it was found that not only were supplies limited or nonexistent for girls in this situation, but the need in our city was drastic. TPP's first product drive in May 2021 led to such abundant support as well as such clear confirmation of the issue, that Cassie couldn’t help but continue the work.

With 11 Tulsa area schools being served and requests continuing to pour in as well as supplies constantly being needed, our founder turned to prayer to determine the best steps for the pantry. After deliberation and time with God, she decided to apply for nonprofit status and on December 9th, 2022. Tulsa Period Pantry was granted declared a non-profit, with tax exemption 501(C)3 status being granted in February of 2023.

Tulsa Period Pantry now serves over 60 schools across Tulsa County. TPP continues to connect with even more schools, businesses, and organizations to continue to raise awareness, support, and resources to expand and serve the girls of our community. One in four girls miss school due to not having period products. This is too many. Tulsa Period Pantry is doing something about it. You are welcome to join in the mission!
