A number of people in the thread talked about donating things like THINX underwear or reusable pads to homeless communities. And just... no.

I have heard from several folks who were in the young/couch-surfing/homeless-but-not-sleeping-rough that having reusable cups basically saved them.

A local chapter of Days for Girls purchased a bunch of cups and made them available (not "gave them out" but "made them available for interested parties" along with info on how to use them) to anyone who asked. Their primary goal was actually to have something discreet for the trans men who were struggling at a local youth shelter, but they managed to offer something helpful for about 50 people.
