Chuhak & Tecson’s pioneering Women Helping Women program supports The Period Collective for its 2025 Mix-And-Mingle

For 16 years, Chuhak & Tecson’s award-winning Women Helping Women initiative has fostered professional empowerment and strengthened bonds among professionals while partnering with nonprofit organizations to provide resources and expand opportunities for women throughout Chicagoland.

Women Helping Women’s philanthropic efforts are driven by the two-hour Mix-and-Mingle networking events that draw guests from scores of industries across the business and professional spectrum. For each gathering, which consistently brings together over 150 attendees, Women Helping Women identifies and partners with a local nonprofit organization dedicated to helping women or women and their children.

For its 22nd Mix-and-Mingle, set for September 24, 2025, Women Helping Women will be supporting The Period Collective. Grounded in the belief that menstrual equity is a fundamental human right, this Chicago-based 501(c)(3) organization strives to create a world where everyone has access to menstrual products, regardless of their income or living situation. To that end, The Period Collective collects and provides menstrual products to local shelters, transitional housing facilities, schools and food banks. Since its inception, the organization has distributed more than 3.3 million menstrual products to a range of social service organizations. Having access to these essential products allows women and girls to manage monthly stresses with more comfort, ease and security.

Mallory Moreno, a principal at Chuhak & Tecson and active participant in the Women Helping Women program, says she is thrilled to help bring more resources and awareness to the organization and the women it serves.

“The products that The Period Collective provides aren’t luxuries or privileges, and women should not be denied their basic human dignity simply because of difficult economic or personal circumstances,” Moreno says. “Access to menstrual products helps alleviate at least one stressor for the women we serve and allows them to focus their energies on moving forward and overcoming the other challenges they face. I am very proud that Women Helping Women is contributing to these efforts.”
