Frequently asked questions
The $97 is a one-time donation to Pink Box Purpose to receive the kit and the items needed to host a party. We use that money to pay the women at our Hygiene Headquarters who will be sewing the pads.
Yes. All of the information you need, along with the patterns is in the party pack.
No. We use the $97 to pay the women who sew the pads in Honduras. If we give the pads for free, we are stealing from our sisters in Honduras. Without the donation or sponsorships for our sisters, we are unable to employ the women, and they are a huge part of what makes Pink Box Purpose so special.
The fabric is used to sew reuseable pads that females in Honduras will be using. This may be the first gift any of these women have ever received and we want them to feel special and loved when they receive it. Bright colors, beautiful designs, and material that covers up period stains is requested. Please offer your very best.
*No used fabric of used sheets will be accepted.
For quantity, you don’t need to worry about matching everything up. You can separate the patterns / cloth if you would like but you do not need to worry about making sure there are the same amount of items for each one, because other groups do not always do that, so in God’s math, it ends up all working out when the material is shipped to Honduras and if your group is a couple of cotton pieces short, they will add it with another groups material that had extra- or Vice versa. Our sisters in Honduras also have extra material there if they need it. So feel free to cut out as many pieces as your fabric allows and you can ship it to us and then we will make sure it all gets taken to our Hygiene Headquarters in Honduras to sew. If you want to match everything though: 1 Cotton A + 1 Flannel A + 2 cotton B = 1 pad 2 flannel pattern C = 1 liner
The one you have (shaped as a house) is the correct pattern. We have recently changed our patterns, and our new party packs all come with the correct pattern B (shaped like a house).
If you have the old pattern B (diamond shape), you can still use that one, and the women at our Hygiene Headquarters will make the adjustment to sew it.
Pattern A is used for the body of the pad itself. 1 side is 100% cotton and the other side is 100% cotton flannel.
Pattern B is used for the wings. The old pattern B is shaped like a diamond and the new pattern B is shaped like a house. Either pattern will be find to use. The women at our Hygiene Headquarters are aware and will make the proper adjustments when sewing.
Pattern C is a 6x9 rectangle and flannel is used for pattern C. This is what we use to create the liners.
No. That's the beauty of this! You do not need to know how to sew to host a party! All of the material you cut out will actually be sent to our Hygiene Headquarters where women in country will be given jobs to sew the pads you cut out and then distribute to girls and women in their neighboring communities.
You can use your party pack again and again to host as many parties as you would like!
