Our mission is to Supply Menstrual Products.

Our objectives are threefold. Supply the need, destigmatize menstruation, and educate about and provide access to reusable products.

We started Sister Supply in April of 2015 after Eli heard about a homeless woman who had stumbled into a local business after-hours so covered in blood that the security guard thought she had been injured. This made us think, how do homeless women handle their period? So, we began supplying local shelters with products.

But once the schools found out about us, the calls poured in. Many school systems, including our own, don’t have a budget for pads and tampons. We found that teachers and guidance counselors were paying for pads out their own pockets to help keep their students in school. Many menstruators still go without effective menstrual products -- monthly necessities -- because they can't afford them. They miss work; they miss school. You can’t buy pads and tampons with food stamps. And in Tennessee, they’re taxed as luxury items. What?

Not only are we supplying the need, we’re constantly talking about periods. When we go to a restaurant and there aren’t tampons and pads readily available, we ask, why not? We do what we can to normalize the conversation around menstruation. We’re also working with our lawmakers on getting the tax dropped on products and adding a budget line for schools. In our ideal world, tampons and pads would be stocked in bathrooms just like toilet paper and hand towels.

And don’t even get us started on menstrual cups and washable pads. Imagine if a menstruator who was struggling financially didn’t have to purchase products for 10 years!!

Partners:

Enterprise Foundation, FedEx, & DSL have all partnered with Sister Supply since the pandemic.

Walmart, Always, and Proctor & Gamble donated over 30,000 products in 2022 and over 26,000 products in 2023

In 2022, we began making real progress in the sustainable products distribution thanks to a large in kind donation of period panties from a local “angel.”

International Paper Supplied 1,000 Period Kits, each containing 24 products in 2022

Superlo Foods -  sells us pads and tampons at cost. We love them!!

These are some of the schools, shelters, and organizations we have supported:
