The Phillips Law Foundation, with support from Phillips Law Group, is set to host a period products packing party to put together bags of menstrual supplies for women experiencing homelessness or poverty. The event benefits Women4Women Tempe, a nonprofit dedicated to “supporting the dignity, health, and security of all women by providing access to feminine hygiene products, free of charge.”
First Period Products Packing Party of the Year
Although Phillips Law Group and the Foundation have hosted these “packing parties” in the past, this is the first one of 2025, and volunteers are gearing up to prepare as many bags of products as they can to provide to as many women as possible.
Kay Wright, Women4Women Tempe’s co-founder and president, told KJZZ – a National Public Radio member station in Phoenix – that when volunteers come together to pack paper bags with hundreds of pads, tampons and sanitary wipes, “There’s always a lot of laughter because people start talking about their first periods and how awful it was and just — you know, it’s just fun.”
Wright added that events like this upcoming packing party help destigmatize periods.
“It’s good to have everybody,” said Wright. “It’s like, it’s not a woman thing, it’s a human thing. And it’s so natural and normal.”
How to Help the Cause
This packing party event will take place on Friday, April 25th, at 10:00 am, onsite at the main Phillips Law Group office complex – 3101 N Central Avenue. Volunteers will work to assemble bags of menstrual supplies for women in poverty and/or experiencing homelessness, and will need all the help they can get.
At one previous packing party hosted by Phillips Law Group, volunteers put together 635 bags, each filled with 12 pads or tampons, six individually wrapped pantiliners, five individually wrapped hand wipes, and five individually wrapped feminine wipes.
Ilce Mondragon, the Community Outreach Coordinator for the firm, said at the time that Women4Women Tempe typically needs to bring all the supplies to these packing parties. However, when Phillips Law Group hosts one, she said, “they love us because we provide everything. And they don’t need to worry about anything.”
