The United Way BC’s Period Promise collection campaign has returned for the month of May.
The campaign makes it easier for people who menstruate to get through their periods with dignity.
According to United Way, half of people who menstruate in BC have struggled to buy products at some point in their life, while one in four have had to choose other essentials over period products.
British Columbians can help the campaign by:
- Participating in their organization’s Period Promise campaign.
- Making a monetary donation.
- Organizing a Period Promise campaign to collect menstrual products in the community.
- Volunteer to help get period products to those in need.
Last year’s campaign brought in more than 500,000 products, which were distributed to more than 130 community partners.
This year, the goal is to collect more than 550,000.
