The Period Promise campaign by United Way is a local response to a global issue. We can reduce the isolation created by period poverty, in our own neighbourhoods.
The Period Promise campaign takes place from March 7 to April 4, 2019. You can give financially, or donate period products. You can organize Period Promise campaigns to collect donations in your community.
Periods are a fact of life. Monthly menstruation products are a necessity. Sadly, across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, too many people can’t afford them. These include young girls and single mothers, newcomers and refugees who face added levels of stigma and trans and gender non-conforming folks for whom this can be a compounding and overwhelming challenge.
