Founded in 2021 by Megan Swope, a nurse working with Penn State Health. While finishing her BSN, Megan created The Period Project Harrisburg to address period poverty in her community. Along with volunteers, she created 1800 period packs for unsheltered and low income individuals who menstruate. Thanks to their enthusiastic support, they became a nonprofit in which she has continued to grow following her move to Sarasota in May 2021. In January 2024, Megan launched The Period Project Sarasota, an initiative to address period poverty in her new hometown.
