This charity is amazing! They provide period products to all women regardless of their ability to pay. They provide a space to purchase low cost reusable products as well as receive a free starter set if you cannot afford to purchase any. They are filling a large need in many communities!
Cloth connection outreach is the best! I was struggling financially and needed help with menstrual products so I applied for a kit. It really helped get me through a rough patch. I’m so glad CCO exists to help!
Cloth Connection Outreach Charity is a life changer for those struggling with Period Poverty. I highly recommend this charity to any and all who need their help. Having quality reusable period pads is going to change their lives. These pads last for years and so many people struggle each month to afford the supplies they need. CCO is there for them and I'm here to help CCO reach their goals of helping those in need. Women are struggling with cramps and rashes from disposable products and using these pads can help with those problems. This charity is near and dear to my heart. The thought of women using something other than products meant for this purpose because they can't afford them is frightening. There was a child who lives nearby whose Christmas wish list was posted in our community paper in 2023 and on her list were sanitary pads. Imagine a child hoping for sanitary pads for Christmas! The struggle is real, people are in need and Cloth Connection Outreach Charity is there to help. It's time that this charity gets recognized for the outstanding work that they are doing for women everywhere! I have included a photo of a few pads that I made for CCO.
Cloth Connection Outreach is a wonderful charity. They are incredibly inclusive and educational, while providing reusable menstrual products to those in need.
This group has been a huge blessing for me. For years I suffered with store pads and never knew there was cloth pads. I found the group and I was able to get a kit and since then I have gotten a few more pads and love all the fun fabrics and love the videos. I share as much as I can to spread the word and show people they have options for pads. Cco is the best group and I will for ever support them
I appreciate how CCO helps our friends, family, and neighbors who are financially struggling by providing reusable menstrual products to those in need.
These are some of the most amazing human beings on the planet. I received a kit from them and could not be happier with it. Also, every single time I had a question I could msg them and they would reply back to me as soon as they got a chance. I never once felt ignored or belittled for not knowing much about cloth pads. I just knew that I needed to save money and they understood that and were so gracious about the whole thing. I can't speak highly enough about this charity and the work they are doing to help people here at home as well as our neighbors internationally. I can't wait to get my daughter her own set of cloth pads now.
I have PCOS and endo and also severe adhesive allergies and had no idea cloth was an option. They sent me a kit filled with pads, tampons and interlabial pads along with a cup. Because of them I no longer have to deal with disposables.
I love supporting this amazing charity because they help people get started with reusable menstrual products when cost might otherwise prohibit them. Not only does this help the recipient find a healthier and more cost effective option for period products, but it’s so much better for the environment than disposables.
I love what this charity has to offer for those in need. I love that they provide period kits catered to the receivers needs.
I had the privilege of volunteering with Teysha and the Cloth Connection Outreach (CCO) at Detroit's Naturalista Health Expo back in March of 2019 (that's my brown coat in the photo ). CCO is passionate about making sure that people in poverty have access to a truly diverse array of healthy, reusable menstrual products. My family proudly supports CCO and routinely mentions the work they do to coworkers and friends.
I have traveled to many countries where these products are precious and needed. I praise Cloth Connection Outreach for help the less fortunate and young women around the world in need. My hat goes off to you for serving diligently. My heart is connected to all those in need. Keep up the great work you do daily.
I've been helping Cloth Connection Outreach since the beginning and am blown away with how hard everyone works to help people with access to and education about reusable menstrual products. This little charity has come a long way in only five years and there's no shortage of work to do and people to help.
Cloth Connection Outreach is amazing! They sent me a set of starter supplies when I wasn’t in a position to afford them myself. I fell in love with the cloth products and the reusable community so much that when I was able to afford “luxuries” again, I taught myself how to sew and started offering low cost options to people in need. I am also about to volunteer my time and donate some products to the CCO to show my gratitude and support! Thanks CCO!
CCO graciously sent me a beautiful starter kit of reusable products and even worked to find a sponsor to cover the shipping when I couldn’t afford it at the time. Absolutely spectacular charity doing incredible work!
I love how supportive the CCO is and how they strive to help those in need. They are always positive and educate those who don’t know much about the products. I hope those who can donate are encouraged to do so for an amazing cause as it helps those in need.
This is a great non-profit. I purchase my menstrual products through their Etsy shop not only because I support their mission but they also have top quality items. They are run by individuals who are passionate about their cause, highly knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. I strongly recommend this charity.
This is an amazing nonprofit that provides inclusive, thoughtful and honest education to those who menstruate, as well as providing affordable, safe menstruation products that are good for the body and good for the earth!
I was so happy when I found the cloth connection! I couldn’t afford the disposable pads and tampons anymore and the wonderful people here sent me some reusable cloth pads, and a wet bag. I’m beyond grateful and love everything they do!
Such an amazing non-profit to volunteer for! They help educate everyone on reusable menstrual products, period poverty and help so many people who can't afford the monthly cost of period products.
I love that this charity is inclusive to all menstruators and that their mission it to give a hand up and not a hand out so that they can end period poverty in a sustainable way!
Wonderful non-profit doing real grassroots work that has so many positive effects. Accessible, accommodating, and respectful!
Not only did the founder and her daughter, (who I might add made my daughter feel so much more comfortable) as they both taught us about all the different cloth products, how to care for and use them, they also set us up with the correct cups. Then they also sent us each a starter kit when my husband lost his job. I am forever grateful for the kindness and care that this nonprofit has shown us.
I applied for one of their kits that they provide for my first time using cloth pads and it’s been life changing! They sent me a wide variety like requested so I could figure out what worked best for me! Not only from a money standpoint was this a huge blessing but also a comfort standpoint during that time of the month! I won’t even go back to disposables ! Amazing people amazing product and amazing ministry!
Grateful to my friend Aisha Manus Mrs. Georgia 2020 for telling me about this charity and the great work they do. I trust her so if she says this is a great charity for a great cause it must be . Thank you Cloth Connection for helping so many in need
they have helped me get started on using cloth pads . I asked for the gently used package and when i got accepted i was over the moon. Sadly i could not afford for them to be mailed to me and they helped me find a sponsor that helped mail them to me. I love them so so much and they have helped me save money so i can but other things like food.
I donate as often as I can to this charity. They have such an amazing mission and I truly believe their work is so incredibly important. I am always happy to donate because I know my time and hard work are both very appreciated, not only by those running CCO, but also by the people who receive kits from them. Wish I was able to donate more.
I always LOVE the cloth pads I get and the makers selling what they put all their love into making. This group serves as a great resource for people who need and for people who want to support through their purchases.
All the volunteers put so much time to help! They communicate very well despite most of them being across the country from each other. I hope more people get involved because it’s made a HUGE difference.
CCO has been fantastic! They helped me so much and quickly! I received two kits, one for me, and one for my daughter. They showed me what I liked and what I didn’t. They also hooked me up with their fantastic group which helped me build a much better stash for much less. Everyone is so kind! It was also awesome to participate in the Christmas swap.
I came across CCO when I was first getting into sewing cloth pads. It seemed very overwhelming and they were a great help. I went to one of their informational classes and was amazed by all I learned. I appreciated being able to see and feel the physical items, be it cloth pads of different fabrics or various cups. Once I started sewing my own pads, I was also impressed that they accepted used cloth pads that don't work for me. I've since sewn donations for CCO and point anyone in their direction who either wants to sew for a hobby or needs a menstrual kit. Excellent charity and helping so many!
Amazing charity. I loved how easy it was to apply & how fast I received my cloth pads & menstrual cup. Thank you for all you do. Without this charity I’d probably never of known how life changing these products are.
This is by far such a wonderful great program! They have helped me & my daughter & I love how if theres any questions or issues, they are there to help. I wouldn't be able to start this wonderful journey without they're help! Thanks so much!
I donate cloth pads and wet bags for CCO regularly and will continue to do so. CCO respects needs for those applying for kits and also puts so much thought into choosing the items for each kit. So glad there is a program to help minimize financial stress during menstruation, as well as providing chemical free products!
After having my little I started having awful reactions to disposable pads, but getting a sufficiant stash together before my next cycle wasnt gonna happen with my budget. They sent me my cloth pad kit plus ingot a few from their budget group to start my cloth pad journey and honestly just started and was so excited to use everything they sent.
Not only did I get 6 pads, i got an wet bag, a wrapper, cloth wipes, some underwear and a hygiene wipe. Hoping for a nice cycle this month with no awful rash!
I received several beautiful reusable cloth pads and a liberating, life changing reusable menstrual cup from this amazing organization. Living far below the poverty line and raising my two children, I couldn’t afford to consistently buy sanitary products, and absolutely no means to invest in the quality and quantity of the items I received. They do wonderful work hat truly improves the quality of life for so many people.
For years I've struggled with bad cycles and after looking up cloth pads I was willing to try anything. The biggest obstacle to getting started of course was funding to ether get a set or the tools to make them. Thankfully I happened to come across a post in one of the Facebook groups about these things mentioning Cloth Connection Outreach. As far as I know they are the only charity for reusable menstrual products that helps those in the US. When I got that acceptance email I was so happy to the point of almost tearing up. The kit I got means so much to me. More independence and security knowing I won't have to worry about running out of pads.
The quality of the pads are just wonderful and since I started using them I feel that they really helped my quality of life. My dad is happy too since it's one less worry every month. He has been a huge help over the years. I have not had any more problems with sheets even when I'm at my heaviest. Before I could not sleep too long without risking a stain on my bed and that's with an overnight pad. Cloth is so much more comfortable and gentle on the skin as well. Cloth connection outreach made a big impact in my menstrual health and I recommend them to anyone who struggle with the same problem.
Three kids and a single income, I'm always looking on ways to not only lessen cost but also waste. I received a cup kit from this organization and love it. The facebook group is always there to answer any questions you have.
I have 2 kids and we have a single income, so we find every way we can to reduce expenses, and waste! I stumbled onto CCO and got a starter kit, as well as a make your own kit. I reccomend them to anyone interested in reusable menstrual products! She has great education and resources to start your journey! Also, the buy/sell/trade Facebook group has been beyond amazing, with a supportive community and product makers that make affordable options! I'm so grateful to have found CCO!
