Our story of care and dignity
The Monthly Mission is a family-led community outreach project in Tampa, Florida. We believe every woman deserves basic period necessities, reliable comfort, and the knowledge that she is never forgotten.
How one missing item sparked a mission
Having spent nearly 20 years as a registered nurse in Women's Health, Cheryl has dedicated her career to caring for women. When her local church organized blessing bags for people experiencing homelessness, she noticed a critical absence: there were no feminine hygiene items. Having access to menstrual products is a necessity many take for granted, yet countless unhoused women go without every single month. Cheryl decided to step forward and address this overlooked need directly, giving birth to The Monthly Mission.
Packed with love right at the kitchen table
What makes our work truly special is our hands-on, family-driven approach. Behind the scenes, Cheryl, her husband, and their two daughters turn their Tampa kitchen into a lively assembly line. Together, they thoughtfully package each Fresh Start Kit with essential menstrual pads, gentle baby wipes, and brand-new, individually wrapped underwear. Every kit is sealed inside a durable, waterproof zipper pouch to keep supplies completely clean and dry from Florida's outdoor weather.
Women supporting women to pay it forward
Our journey is guided by gratitude and community solidarity. By involving Cheryl's daughters in every step, we are passing on the vital lesson that women must always support women. When you take a moment to appreciate what you have and extend a helping hand to those who have less, you restore hope. Through our Amazon registry, community drives, and local partnerships, we invite you to join us in bringing comfort to our neighbors in need.
“Every woman deserves dignity, comfort, and care. Period. 🩷”
