Overview


Registration Form

Period Panties

HOW TO GET A FREE PAIR OF PERIOD PANTIES:
SIGN-UP HERE by May 28th, 2025.

BACKGROUND:
In April 2023, the ASI Food Pantry launched a pilot program to provide free reusable menstrual product to Sac State students. This pilot program was made possible by Student Affairs grant funding. Our staff taught 286 students how to use, clean, and store the products through in-person demos, tabling events, and at the 2023 Sac State Earth Day Sustainability Fair

In June 2023, we applied for new funding to buy 290 period panties for distribution and after a brief supply chain shipping delay, these are now available for Sac State students!

PARTNERSHIPS:
We buy our period panties from Saalt, a certified B-corp. Learn more about Saalt’s educational materials and information about their products and mission here.

Grant funding for this service came from University Enterprises Inc. We are grateful to promote menstrual equity and environmental sustainability in partnership with UEI.

Our Mission

The ASI Food Pantry exists to provide food and basic necessities to Sac State students with financial hardships and low food security, at no cost. In addition to helping alleviate hunger within our student community, the ASI Food Pantry aims to decrease the negative impact that low food security has on the academic success of our students.

Eligibility, First-Timers

Currently enrolled Sac State students can shop at the ASI Food Pantry or place a locker order once per week.

At your first visit, you will need to bring your physical OneCard and complete our New User Registration Form, which helps us better understand your needs and provide referrals to other great campus resources.
