What’s a Period Promise?
It’s a pledge to make sure no one misses school, work or life, because they can’t afford menstrual products. Half of everyone who menstruate in BC – women, girls, non-binary people, and trans folx – have struggled to buy products at some point in their life. We’re partnering with United Way British Columbia & London Drugs to make a difference!
The month of May is National Menstrual Awareness Month and Holly & Nira are creating their own Period Promise campaign, creating awareness, raising money and product donations to help end period poverty. When people have access to the product they need, it improves their health and well-being and makes it easier for them to stay connected. Every donation of tampons, pads, cups or underwear raises awareness, reduces stigma, and tackles vulnerability and isolation caused by period poverty
Join Holly & Nira for their Period Promise Campaign! Donate products or a monetary donation at one of our on-location drives. We’ll be broadcasting live each week from various London Drugs locations throughout the month:
- Thursday, May 7th at 2032 Lonsdale Ave, North Vancouver from 2-6pm
