The Period Pantry · Southern Maryland
Free Period Products in Southern Maryland
We get free pads, tampons, liners and H.O.P.E. kits to people across Southern Maryland. No cost, no proof of need, no questions asked.
Why this matters here
Care that fits the map
Southern Maryland communities deserve nearby, private access to free menstrual products and a local volunteer network. The Period Pantry is opening a Southern Maryland chapter pathway for neighbors in Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s Counties.
Long distances between towns and services can make a basic supply shortage harder to solve. Students, families facing economic hardship, people in recovery, and survivors leaving unsafe situations all deserve a local, zero-barrier way to find period products and support.
Free
period products and eligible kits are provided without charge.
