Our vision:
Period Kits North Carolina believes everyone who has a period should have consistent and reliable access to the products they need and are comfortable using when they need those products. With this in mind, we distribute period kits and product right here in North Carolina through our network of supportive community agencies.
Our Story
Our Story
NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO CHOOSE. PERIOD.
Period Kits NC did not know where to start or if it even made sense. With so many barriers and unknowns, we found ourselves with uncertainity with our founder moving to North Carolina after being gone for 12 years and still being the Executive Director for Period Kits in Colorado.
The initial thought was not to expand into North Carolina thinking the mission already existed, but the need was greater than anticipated which is why Period Kits North Carolina was founded.
Through our ties, with the Denver based nonprofit initiative known as Period Kits, we became inspired to address the social inequity of access to feminine hygiene products. Period Kits has inspired us and provided the blueprint to extend this movement into our own community here in NC with a goal of putting an end to period poverty.

Geoff Davis
Founder of Period Kits/Board President
Geoff Davis founded Period Kits based out of Colorado in February 2019. While having coffee with a friend, the topic of period poverty came up, the friend remarked "I've been there, I've had food and tampons in my hands and had to put the food back." Geoff thought to himself that no one should have to make that choice and decided to do something about it.
"Period poverty is a complex issue, but Period Kits is simple. Any person that has a period should have consistent and dependable access to the products they need, period."
Geoff is a Case Manager for Homefull in Dayton, Ohio and founder of Period Kits Ohio. In his spare time, he enjoys hanging with his seven adult children, attending Front Range Community College, and cheering on his beloved Manchester United.
