Periods might be tough to talk about sometimes, but they are just a fact of life. Sadly, too many people can’t afford them. But you can change that.
Event Details
From March 3-21st, United Way is making a stand against period poverty. Menstruation products are a basic necessity. If you are living in poverty or are vulnerable in other way, access to period products can be challenging. We are running a community wide product drive for three weeks in March. All donations will be given to local agencies and service providers across the region.
Period Promise is more than just a product drive. United Way is advocating for those affected by period poverty by asking local business and facility owners to sign the Period Promise Policy committing to provide free menstrual products to anyone accessing their facilities.
Together we can help people live with the dignity we all deserve.
Join us March 3rd at one of three kickoff events with your unopened box of product to make your Period Promise.
