Period OKC School and Community Partners
How does Period OKC service work?
The partner application must be completed in full by a staff member or director of a grassroots aid collective, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, religious organization in good standing, or another governmental agency providing services to people in need.
The application must include the name, phone number and email address of at least two people who will be responsible for the partnership.
Partners will be asked to complete a partner agreement and to provide Period OKC with data on how they distribute free menstrual supplies from Period OKC.
A completed application is not a guarantee that you will be able to be an active partner. As the capacity Period OKC has to distribute period products increases, organizations on the waitlist will be invited to join.
Distribution- What do Community Partners do with Period OKC products?
Products from Period OKC are to be used as a part of a broader effort by the recipient organization to assist people in need. The recipient school/organization needs to distribute products directly to individuals as a part of their program, enabling those individuals or families to move toward long-term self-sufficiency. Partner agencies are not allowed to distribute Period OKC products to other organizations or receive payment or other compensation.
Client Surveys
Period OKC relies on survey data and comments from clients to help quantify how the products are helping and affecting people’s lives. Links to the Community Partner Survey and the Individual Survey will be shared in service communication. Results of the surveys will help Period OKC know how to best serve the needs of menstruators.
How to Order
Partners can submit one order per month after their application has been approved using an online order form for period kits that contain 20 pads and 5 liners or 20 tampons and 5 liners. 2024 Order and Pickup Schedule
Pick Up Instructions
Partners will send a representative to to pick up the monthly order from Period OKC. A schedule will be provided to community partners for the year’s pick-up dates and time. We ask that partners try to arrive within the 2-hour window.
Please ensure that you bring a vehicle (or multiple vehicles) large enough to transport your order. It is the responsibility of those picking up to move inventory to their car, so please make sure those picking up are physically able to lift/carry loads of 40 lbs.
Missed Pick-up?
If a circumstance arises that prevents you from making your pick-up window, send an email to service@periodokc.org within 24 hours titled, “Missed Pick-up – (Your Organization/School Name)” to schedule a new pick-up window. If we do not hear from you within 24 hours, that month’s inventory will be considered “forfeit” and is returned to Period OKC inventory.
Disclaimer- Please Be Safe!
If your agency representative, employee, or agent sustains an injury during the pickup time, it is neither the fault nor the responsibility of Period OKC. The partner agency shall submit upon request a certificate of insurance to Period OKC documenting that the agency has worker’s compensation coverage, general liability coverage, and automobile insurance coverage of at least the minimum automobile insurance limits required by applicable state law.
