The Red Basket Project of Dubuque

The Red Basket Project of Dubuque The Red Basket Project provides period products to those in need to manage their periods safely and with dignity.

The Red Basket Project strives to ensure each period is met with products, especially in cases of personal or financial need. We believe access to period products is a basic human right. Having your period should not be a barrier to attending school, work or participating in any part of life. With your donations, we supply Period Packs to the Dubuque Rescue Mission, the Dubuque Food Pantry, Dubuqu

โ€‹e Community Middle and High Schools, Resources Unite, Operation New View and countless other agencies in our community. We also assist other communities in starting their own Red Basket Project.

As we celebrate 10 years of The Red Basket Project, we're reflecting on how far we've come - and looking ahead to what comes next.

Over the past decade, we've distributed thousands of period packs, built meaningful community partnerships, and worked to ensure that no one in our community has to go without period products. None of that would have been possible without dedicated volunteers.

As we enter our next chapter, we're looking for supporters who want to become more involved by joining one of our volunteer committees.

Whether you're passionate about storytelling, organizing events, working behind the scenes, or advocating for change, there's a place for you.

๐Ÿ“ฃ Communication Committee
Help share our mission through social media, public speaking, newsletters, community outreach, and storytelling.

๐ŸŽ‰ Fundraising / Grant Writing / Events Committee
Support fundraising efforts, help plan events, identify grant opportunities, write grant applications, and build relationships with donors and sponsors.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Finance Committee
Assist with budgeting, financial oversight, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of our organization.

๐Ÿ“ข Advocacy / Board Development Committee

In an event organized by Matt Less, co-founder Beth Gilbreathโ€™s son, the After Market Team got together to financially contribute to our mission and assemble 500 period packs! PLUS โ€“ kudos to John Deere, who has period products available in their Welcome Center bathroom just like toilet paper and paper towels. Love to see that!!

What a powerful ad. "A newspaper can absorb the blood, but not the shame." Without access to period products many women are forced to improvise with items like toilet paper, rags, and yes - newspaper.

The attention-grabbing period campaign launched across The Star, The Mercury and the Cape Times newspapers this week.
